LEX EALA: “My Dreams Have Truly Come Alive”
Filipino tennis star Alexandra “Alex” Eala just closed her 2025 season with a milestone the country has long dreamed of — breaking into the WTA Top 50 for the first time in her young career. And in her own words, she still can’t believe it:

“My season comes to an end. I have no words to describe what 2025 has brought me.
My dreams have truly come alive.”
The 20-year-old athlete began the year ranked outside the Top 140. What followed was a series of disciplined training sessions, tear-filled victories, and breakthrough tournaments — including a semifinal finish at the Miami Open that sent her soaring up the global rankings.
🎾 THE RISE OF A FILIPINA CHAMPION
Eala’s climb wasn’t just about talent. It was about:
Consistency on and off the court
Mental strength despite pressure
Commitment to long-term development
Discipline that outworked setbacks
Every match she played this season told a story — a Filipina athlete proving she belongs with the world’s best.
Her journey brought pride to millions of Filipinos who have followed her since her junior tennis days. This year, she didn’t just represent the Philippines.
She carved history for us.

🌟 “THE BEGINNING OF A LONG, HAPPY CAREER”
Alex shared that this accomplishment marks the start — not the peak — of what she hopes will be a long and fruitful tennis career:
“This marks the beginning of what I hope to be a long, happy, and fruitful career on tour.”
With upcoming competitions in Thailand, Macao Masters, and her highly anticipated Australian Open debut, 2026 is set to be another defining chapter.

Psalm 37:23–24
“The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in Him. Though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with His hand.”
Alex’s path wasn’t free from challenges — but every step was guided, strengthened, and aligned with purpose.
