Recently broke the czech curse (if we don’t count 125s then it hasn’t been broken at all) then we also have this record??? 😭

[Berlin!Eala 🌱 @istepbyistep]

Anyways, she has the rest of the year to gain points since there's not much to defend!! I hope she can solve her "why cant she beat ranked #11-27 problem" this year coz she hasn't...won ANY match against them 🥲

[The Tennis Letter @TheTennisLetter]

Alex Eala’s Wimbledon run comes to an end.

It wasn’t meant to be today, but her work ethic, talent, and poise are putting Filipino tennis on the map.

She is the first Filipina in history to reach the 2nd week of a Grand Slam.

This tennis dream she had as a little girl has become reality, and that dream is awakening millions in the Philippines.

Leaving with her head held very high, and her dream even bigger than before. 🥹

Keep inspiring.

🇵🇭❤️

“I think it was tougher mentally for me to accept these missed returns from the slow serves.”

— Iga Świątek in her post-match press conference

[Mich @michnochill]

I feel so seen 😭

I also played tennis on a basketball court. We couldn’t play if some basketball league was happening.

Representation is so important.

It’s crazy that I can relate to a tennis superstar 😭

[The Tennis Letter @TheTennisLetter]

Alex Eala says she grew up playing on a court where a basketball court was painted over the tennis court

“Did you grow up on any grass courts in the Philippines? I don’t think there were many…”

Alex: “I don’t think there were any to my knowledge. No, I did not grow up on grass in the Philippines. I grew up on a court where a basketball court was painted over the tennis court. 🥹 There would be the basketball hoops. I couldn’t really step back a lot because then I would hit the basketball hoop.”

[The Tennis Letter @TheTennisLetter]

Alex Eala says she associates a lot of her childhood memories with Manny Pacquiao, ‘When he would have fights, it would really be like holidays in the Philippines. We would gather and we would watch his fights. People would call off work’

“You’ve spoken a lot about Rafa Nadal’s influence on you. But I’m curious about the Filipino athletes you maybe looked up to?”

Alex: “Of course the kind of national hero in sports in the Philippines is Manny Pacquiao. He is the kind of first global athletic figure from the Philippines who I can remember and associate a lot of my childhood memories with. When he would have fights, it would really be like holidays in the Philippines. We would gather and we would watch his fights. And it would be, like, people would call off work. It would really be event. He is someone super inspiring as an athlete.”

Alex: “In recent years, Hidilyn Diaz, who won the first Olympic gold medal for the Philippines is a huge inspiration. That moment was incredible. Of course Carlos Yulo in the most recent Olympics won two gold medals. Amazing. EJ Obiena is the pole vaulter. He’s a good friend of my family and he likes tennis. So yeah there are so many people. I feel like the Filipinos have such great work ethic. We are really hard workers. When it counts, we can show up.”

They’re so supportive 🫶🏻

[Mich @michnochill]

Nilalait-lait lang natin slow serves ni alex 😭 pero weapon niya rin iyan 🫶🏻

[Dyan Castillejo @DYANCASTILLEJO]

Swiatek said Eala played well she had a tough time returning the slow spinny serves . She had her chances in the first set she said but didnt happen. She didnt know
Why she had so many mishits on racket frame

[Mich @michnochill]

We only had watch parties for Manny Pacquiao before. Streets are literally empty and crime rates are zero because everyone is glued to their television sets.

Now, we’re all watching Alex play, also having watch parties for her 🤍
