Filipino Teen Star Alexandra Eala Shines at Miami Open

MyShine April 7, 2025 2 min read

Miami is not only known for its bright sun but also for the rising sports talents it nurtures. At only 19 years old, Filipino star Alexandra Eala is ‘defying the odds’ as she advances through the early rounds of the Miami Open. Her inspiring journey has enchanted fans and players, propelling her towards a pivotal quarter-finals clash against world No. 2 Iga Swiatek, a match that could define her tennis career.

Eala, ranked No. 140, reached the quarter-finals effortlessly after her scheduled opponent, No. 10 seed Paula Badosa, withdrew due to a lower back injury. This early exit only served to emphasize Eala’s remarkable performance in the tournament. Riding on her recent momentum, she garnered attention after scoring a nail-biting victory over former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko, winning 7-6, 7-5 in the round of 64. The Filipino teenager then bolstered her claims of talent by defeating Australian Open champion and No. 5 seed Madison Keys in the subsequent round, marking a historic feat as the best-ever result by a Filipino player in the Open Era.

Tracing her roots back to Quezon City, Eala started playing tennis at a young age. She gained significant recognition by clinching the prestigious Les Petit As tournament as a 12-year-old in 2018, which subsequently led her to join the Rafael Nadal Academy in Mallorca. Prior to the Miami Open, she had never won three consecutive matches at any tour-level events.

The upcoming encounter will test her skills, as she meets Swiatek for the third time in this tournament; Swiatek defeated No. 22 seed Elina Svitolina in a challenging battle, emerging victorious with a 7-6(5), 6-3 scoreline, marking a step towards her second Miami Open title. Swiatek gained significant attention last year when she won the Sunshine Double—claiming victories in both the Indian Wells and Miami Opens.

No matter the result against Swiatek, Eala has already made her presence known on a top tier. Received accolades from her mentor, Rafael Nadal, noting, “Congratulations Alex! What a great win for you and for [the Philippines]…”, this recognition mirrors Eala’s exceptional skill and resilience.

As the tennis world watches in anticipation, it is clear that Eala has achieved an extraordinary milestone, igniting hopes for her future in the sport. This remarkable chapter at the Miami Open could just be a prologue to an exciting and successful career ahead.
