Athletes, fans, beyond — the entire world is in awe of Alex Eala’s magical Miami run.
What Alex Eala has accomplished in the Miami Open is nothing short of amazing.
She became the first Filipina to defeat a Grand Slam champion — and she did it three times in a row. She is the first player from the Philippines to reach WTA-level semifinals. And she is now the first Filipina to enter the top 100 on the WTA rankings.
These feats alone don’t do justice to the sensational tennis she put on display on the court, facing some of the world’s best players. Yet on top of it all, Eala also warmed the hearts of anyone who witnessed her Miami Open campaign.
