As an OFW in 🇹🇼 there will always be an added layer of microaggression towards Southeast Asians, which I experienced heavily today; so when Alex said, “maybe…this achievement may seem small, but for someone who grew up in the Philippines…this is everything,” I CRIED 😭🥳🤣
you people will never understand the situation and emotions of athletes coming from countries with only a little representation or none at all on a global stage or competition. she’s paving the way for tennis in the philippines & least you can do is be respectful or just stfu
“Maybe for someone like Iga who has won so many slams … or maybe someone like Serena or Venus this achievement may seem small, but for someone who grew up in the Philippines. … for her this is everything.”
Alexandra Eala after her win ❤️
THE MOMENT ALEX EALA BECAME THE FIRST FILIPINA IN THE OPEN ERA TO REACH THE 4TH ROUND OF A SLAM at WIMBLEDON.
Listen to this crowd.
Look at the joy on her face.
The heart of a Filipina is leaving footprints in history.
