Alex Eala got emotional in press when asked about what it means to her to have the support of the Filipino community after her loss to Jovic at the U.S. Open
“There were flags in Arthur Ashe from fans of the Philippines. We saw it throughout the tournament as well. What has that support meant to you, not only throughout this tournament, but this year as your star has grown, just from that community?
Alex: “It’s indescribable to sum up the support and how it makes me feel in just a few words. It’s a real privilege to experience this in a lifetime. You know, like… Oh God, sorry. 🥹 Playing on Arthur Ashe, and feeling the support, being in those environments, learning these lessons, and fighting and doing what I love. I’m really happy. I’m really lucky to have these opportunities, to have these people support me, and to be working hard, to be able to work hard… to be able to live this life how I’m living it.” ❤️
