Alex Eala speaking through tears after beating Iga Swiatek to become the first Filipino player in the Open Era to reach the 2nd week of a Slam at Wimbledon.
“How does it feel to be standing here after just defeating the defending champion on Centre court?”
Alex: “I don’t know how to describe it. I’m in the 2nd week of a slam. It’s amazing for me. Iga is a phenomenal player and a really nice person. I’m really grateful to be able to share Centre court with her at Wimbledon. I’m really emotional. Maybe for someone like Iga who’s won so many slams or someone like Serena or Venus, this achievement may seem small.. but for someone who grew up in the Philippines…” 🥹
*Alex begins to cry*
“I went to train with my brother and grandfather every day after school with my ruffled socks and shoes and my chubby cheeks. To her, this is everything.”
