MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. expressed pride over Alex Eala’s historic win in Guadalajara 125 Open in Mexico.
The 20-year-old tennis ace recovered from a first set setback and outlasted Panna Udvardy of Hungary, 1-6, 7-5, 6-3 en route to capturing her first-ever Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) title.
“History has been written by Alex Eala as she becomes the first Filipino to win a WTA singles title," Marcos posted in his social media accounts.
