Should match empathy with a dose of wisdom!

@espn At this rate he should be an endorser of Energizer bunny 😅

[whatchamacallityo? @pseudowanderer]

@Mariamelx58 Nah, that's a bad excuse. It's a conscious thing, you know you're playing with your "friend" and you know the match was a good match, can't remember to acknowledge her? Acute amnesia? 😅😁

@GoldenstateAce @Sunny083193 Have you seen the Madison Keys Qinwen game? Tsk. Bitter filled veins in you.

REAL ONES KNOW HOW HARD THAT IS 💯🙌
Dropping a brutal match at the U.S. Open usually has players ready to storm straight down the tunnel without making eye contact.
Yet Alex Eala walked right over to cross the net and hug Iva Jovic after a heavy battle, proving character still wins over the scoreboard.
You see plenty of athletes throw tantrums when things go sideways, but real sportsmanship is keeping your head high when the dust settles.
That kind of class behind closed doors tells you everything you need to know about who's built for the long haul.

Alex Eala was visibly emotional and holding back tears during her press conference after a tough loss to Iva Jovic but she still handled every question with absolute class and professionalism. That’s why fans love her.

Arthur Ashe Classic. 🗽🎾

Three hours. Three sets. Two best friends. One unforgettable showcase of the future of women’s tennis.

Iva Jovic, just 18, defeated Alex Eala 7‑5, 3‑6, 7‑5 in a match that felt like a Grand Slam final under the lights of the biggest stadium in the sport.

For Jovic, the victory adds to her growing legend: she becomes the youngest American woman since Venus Williams in 1998 to reach three Major Round of 16s in a single year. 👏 A generational marker.

For Alex, the night was proof of progress. Stronger, wiser, and braver than last year’s US Open, she fought point for point, refusing to yield against her closest friend and one of the world’s rising stars.

The scoreboard favored Jovic, but the story belongs to both. Friendship and rivalry intertwined, pushing each other to greatness.

This is what tennis should be: courage, history, and heart on full display.

This almost feels like the close loss to Maya Joint at the Eastbourne finals last year.

Eala understandably emotional after the match.

We all know what happens after Alex loses a close, emotional match.

She comes back with fire in her eyes and her game.

Can’t wait until her next meeting with Iva Jovic 💪🎾🇵🇭

STANDING OVATION 🙌

Alex Eala’s primetime debut at Arthur Ashe falls short against Iva Jovic.

[Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson]

🚨Nike to be REMOVED from the S&P 100 after 18 years following record collapse.

Their stock has plummeted nearly 80% in the past 5 years.

This is what happens when a company betrays their customers and choses woke ideology over selling shoes and clothes.

A once iconic brand ruined.

Their downfall will be studied.

[Sunny Days☀️ @Sunny083193]

It’s tough man. She has the weight of the whole country on her shoulders. She’s not just a regular player. There’s a lot of pressure and feeling like she has to perform because of so many people watching her. I’m sure she feels like she let everyone down even though she didn’t. This type of stardom is not easy to navigate.

[whatchamacallityo? @pseudowanderer]

@daryl040287g @StraightTalkSp1 @endpaige @TennisPublisher True, this guy is running in bitterness only and zero critical thinking, right? Pitiful

[whatchamacallityo? @pseudowanderer]

@StraightTalkSp1 @endpaige @TennisPublisher LOL have you seen Madison Keys game today? So what can you say? She was ahead, then Qwin happened? Do you still say the same thing to her?

[Randy Walker @TennisPublisher]

"She can leave with her head held high" said Patrick McEnroe on ESPN2 on Alex Eala, despite her loss to Iva Jovic. "She's the real deal" says Mary Joe Fernandez

Alex Eala was emotional when asked about what it means to have the support of the Philippines at the US Open 🥹

[DAVAOMIGRANT @nabunturanguy]

I love Andy Roddick and his, for me ha, “love” for Alex Eala. I think he sees great potentials in Alex and he envisions her playing in grand slam finals soon. He always have good words for her. Thank you Andy. Sa totoo lang, paborito kita when you were still playing. Hindi barumbado. And so gwapo.

[US Open Tennis @usopen]

Alex Eala reflects on the journey, the lessons, and the community that means so much to her. 🇵🇭💙

[The Tennis Letter @TheTennisLetter]

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.” ❤️
