EALA 👏🇵🇭

[Jeff Darlington @JeffDarlington]

Here at Wimbledon, Alex Eala is playing for more than a place in the draw. She is making history for the Philippines, and with every point, giving a country half a world away something bigger to share: belief.

She's up next on Centre Court.

Funny how that Milo song stays with you. The message is timeless: every great journey starts with a small beginning.

Great things start from small beginnings…
Growing up, reach early for your dreams…

Drink Milo everyday 🤣

[Percival Andrade @PercyAndrade9]

@mvn_dn @LordTaylorField Milo is dangerously addictive. 😋
