Filipina tennis player Alex Eala, now ranked World No. 56, will make her Wimbledon main draw debut on Centre Court against defending champion Barbora Krejcikova.

Krejcikova, ranked 16th in the world, is a two-time Grand Slam singles champion and an Olympic gold medalist in doubles.

This marks Eala's first main draw appearance at Wimbledon, a dream come true for the young player.

Eala earned her spot in Grand Slam main draws after her performance in the Miami Open, where she defeated former Grand Slam champions.

She recently reached the Eastbourne Open final, losing to Maya Joint, and is hoping to score an upset at Wimbledon.

Krejcikova, who withdrew from the Eastbourne quarterfinals due to a thigh injury, has returned to training and anticipates a strong match against Eala.
