Alexandra Eala’s latest social media video features a familiar tennis face

Filipina tennis star Alexandra Eala may be out of the National Bank Open, but she and the Filipino fans brought the best energy to this tournament which desperately needed it. She is currently enjoying well-deserved rest after busy weeks of tennis in DC and Toronto.

Eala will enter the Cincinnati Open potentially seeded as high as World No. 17 after her amazing summer run that included the WTA 500 win at the Mubadala DC Open a couple weeks ago.

In the meantime, her latest social media post exposes a less intense and lighter side to her personality. A familiar tennis face makes a cameo appearance.

Eala’s TikTok video

Eala is enjoying ice cream when Coco Gauff appears in the video. It’s no surprise that Eala and Gauff are friendly. They played doubles together last year at the Italian Open.

The lyrics to the song in the video include the words “big reputations” which appropriately describe Gauff and Eala.

Female players winning over Filipino fans

Kudos to the WTA players who have embraced the Filipino fanbase and recognize that these fans are expanding the sport.

Jessica Pegula mentioned it in her Washington, DC runner up speech.

Naomi Osaka has also addressed it.

Eala’s two recent opponents, Caty McNally and Belinda Bencic, also received a lot of love from the fans.

These fans are new to the tennis scene, and sometimes cheer at moments that may be irritating for players. However, the women are handling the noise and all the Eala mania with class.
