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.

Our essay on her story for ESPN:

What a treat to spend some time with Alex Eala, fresh off her historic win at Wimbledon today.

She is the first Filipino to reach the Round of 16. Such an inspiration for kids in the Philippines and all over the world.

Keep going for it, Alex!
