Though uncertain about her SEA Games and Asian Games participation, Alex Eala makes sure to represent the country on the women's tour.
MANILA, Philippines – It’s not usual to see a Philippine flag in the Women’s Tennis Association events, but Alex Eala will make sure that it is here to stay.
The Philippine teen tennis sensation is currently qualifying for the 2023 Roland Garros, which will be held from May 28 to June 11. She will need to carefully pick her upcoming tournaments in order to rack up enough points to advance to the qualifying rounds of the French Open. The Asian Games, on the other hand, was delayed by a year due to China’s COVID-19 situation and is set to push through on September 23 to October 8 in Hangzhou.
“The atmosphere is different if you’re with the team and it feels like you’re fighting for more than just yourself, and it puts you into perspective that you’re playing for the country especially in the SEA Games, where there’s a crowd and a lot are watching you,” Eala continued in Filipino.
