Alexandra Eala has become one of the big names on the WTA circuit. The Filipino tennis player has been a breath of fresh air for women's tennis in recent times, and her media power and her on-court attitude have garnered positive attention. That's why Sam Querrey has delved into what he considers her greatest virtue after each victory.
"The reaction after each great triumph she achieves now makes it seem like she has almost won the tournament. It's almost as if she is crying, and you feel that she has won a match for her whole country," he stated on the 'Nothing Major Show'. John Isner, also a former tennis player and compatriot of Querrey, jumped on board, acknowledging that "what I like the most are her reactions after the matches."
Philippines rallies behind Eala
It's incredible to see the support Eala receives at every tournament she attends, and how much the country of the Philippines is rallying behind their new superstar. The crowd turns blue and red at every match of Alexandra's, wherever it may be, which motivates the 21-year-old tennis prodigy. Her personality is overwhelming, and as Querrey affirms, she approaches every match as if it were her last, something she herself has highlighted in more than one interview.
Looking ahead to Wimbledon 2026, she will be one of the names to watch, as in recent weeks she has showcased her incredible grass skills. First, she won the WTA 125 in Birmingham, and later reached the semifinals in the WTA 500 in Berlin, so she arrives with sky-high confidence to achieve a good result in London and continue climbing in the rankings, where she has recently returned to the top 30.
