NAKADAPA NA, LALABAN PA!
Alex Eala represents the best of the Filipino. She represents the best of us…and of what’s in us. Heart, grit and resilience.
This shot is the story of the Filipino people. Nakadapa na, lalaban pa. Ganyan tayo, bagsak na… pero may ibubuga pa! Ang tibay natin!
Alex, we cried with you. Thank you for representing the Philippines on the world stage with class, humility and grace.
What an honor to watch you 🇵🇭

The Philippine Embassy in London congratulates Alex Eala on advancing to the Round of 16 after defeating defending champion Iga Świątek, continuing her remarkable run and making the Philippines proud.
Laban, Alex! 🎾
WHATEVER ROB PELINKA DOES TODAY, IT DOES NOT MATTER! A FILIPINA JUST DEFEATED THE REMAINING AND DEFENDING #WIMBLEDON CHAMPION IGA SWIATEK!!! MABUHAY KA ALEXANDRA EALA! 🇵🇭
Eala is so incredibly popular to the point of getting the “overhype” label but tbh talking to analysts offline the last two years, I think she’s been more underestimated than anything.
Lots of skeptical takes about her game post-Miami and on. Here she is top-25 18 months later.
A STAR IS BORN ON CENTRE! Alexandra Eala defeats defending champion Iga Swiatek 7-6 6-2 to make the second week of #Wimbledon for the first time. Showed great composure and held her nerve when it mattered most. Genuine contender.
It’s okay to be disappointed that Iga lost and with the way she played today. But please leave Alex alone and stop trying to police how she celebrates a big win. She’s the first Filipino to make the second week at any major. She’s allowed to celebrate however she wants.
It’s not the money.
It’s the pride, the recognition, the honor of standing shoulder to shoulder with the best on the most prestigious stage in tennis — Wimbledon. 🎾
By reaching the third round, Alex Eala has already secured the biggest paycheck of her career — £185,000 (₱15 million). But beyond numbers, it’s about proving that a Filipina can rise, compete, and inspire on the grandest court of them all.
This is history in motion.
This is the Philippines on Centre Court. 🇵🇭
