Congratulations, Alex!

Wow, what an incredible achievement for Alex Eala! On September 7, 2025, she made history by winning her first WTA singles title at the Guadalajara 125 Open, defeating Hungary’s Panna Udvardy in an intense match that ended 1–6, 7–5, 6–3. At just 20 years old and ranked No. 75 in the world, she has put Filipino tennis on the map in a truly spectacular way.

Starting off a bit shaky with a first-set loss, Alex didn’t let that discourage her. Instead, she showed her resilience, turning the match around brilliantly. It’s not just about the win; it’s about the journey she’s taken to get here. This breakthrough season has been nothing short of amazing—she reached her first WTA Tour final, broke into the top 100, and even snagged her first Grand Slam main-draw win at the US Open.

Alex’s victory not only marks a personal triumph but also serves as an inspiration for young athletes in the Country. This win is a testament to hard work, determination, and passion for the sport. Here's to many more victories ahead!
