Alex Eala emphasizes positive representation of Philippines

Philippines' top tennis player Alex Eala emphasizes the importance of representing her country positively on the international stage, focusing on the support she receives from Filipinos rather than negative comments.

During a meet-and-greet hosted by Globe in Bonifacio Global City, Eala expressed her commitment to setting a good example for Filipino youth who look up to her and shared that she remains confident despite criticism.

Eala's historic year includes reaching the Miami Open semifinals and making her debut at Wimbledon, where she achieved a career-high world ranking of No. 56.

The young athlete attributes her success to her patriotism and pride in being Filipino, highlighting how her identity influences her performance on international courts.

Currently taking a short break in the Philippines, Eala visited the PHINMA International Junior Tennis Championship and her alma mater Colegio San Agustin Makati to inspire young players before heading back to action for the US Open.
