Hope Eala fans who are new to tennis understand that it's the cruelest sport for fans with high expectation. Only one winner every week and most likely won't be your favs. But there'll be good weeks and best weeks somewhere in between.
Alexandra Eala looks forward to the pressure of the world’s biggest stages in her sport, she tells CBS Mornings, after becoming a breakout star at the US Open.
Eala shares how her grandfather supported her tennis aspirations, inspiring young athletes in her home country of the Philippines and her mentality on the court: “A dream is only a dream until it becomes a reality.”
It’s tough man. She has the weight of the whole country on her shoulders. She’s not just a regular player. There’s a lot of pressure and feeling like she has to perform because of so many people watching her. I’m sure she feels like she let everyone down even though she didn’t. This type of stardom is not easy to navigate.
