Congrats reaching your first slam second week Alex! Medyo over the top yung celebration niya, that's usually how you do it when you've already won a slam tournament. To be fair, she's already won ~Php 24 million by reaching the fourth round of this year's Wimbledon.
ReplyDeleteCelebration is celebration, walang over the top. Emotion yan.
DeleteIga Swatek is Iga Swatek. If you beat one of the greats kahit hindi pa finals sinong hindi mag celebrate?
DeleteHindi over the top kapag natalo niya ang number 3 seed sa tournament. First time din siya makakatapak sa round of 16. Sa hirap ng tennis lalo na ganyan ka init for sure gusto niya humiga sa pagod
DeleteGanda ng sinabi niya ses. Parang ganito. She referred to Iga - defending Wimbledon champion and World No. 3, who had a lot of grand slams under their name, esp Venus or Serena. To other people, winning that round or having that accomplishment is small. But to someone who grew up in the Philippines, to her, it is everything
DeleteI have watched tennis since childhood. Hindi ko naimagine na magkakaroon ng Pinay na ichi-cheer ko.
A win is still a win. Mabuhay ka kabayan
Nakakaproud. Kahit yung pinapanood namin kanina sa YT na live me nakaharang na malaking square sa screen (because of copyright perhaps) ang mahalaga nakikita yung score. Grabeh yung game 2 ang tagal bago makuha yung match point! Congratulations Alex!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! On to the next!
ReplyDeletewala man tayo sa FIFA, meron naman tayong inaabangan lagi sa Tennis. the whole country celebrates with you, Alex!
ReplyDeletepasok dun sa nagsabi sa kabilang thread na hype lang si Alex dahil sa backer (do you see the backer playing in the court?)
LOVE IT! PRAYING FOR YOU ALEX TO WIN GRAND SLAMS. 🙏🙏🙏
ReplyDeleteSTAY GOD FEARING HUMBLE ATHLETE.
I love how the rowdy Penoys are nowhere to be found in the crowd because this match was in Centre Court and they can't afford the tickets. And to those fake tennis fans and social climbers who can afford it, the tickets up until the finals (for Centre Court and Court 1) have already been sold so even they will not be able to get any even if they want to.
ReplyDeleteBitter mo naman ang ganda ganda ng news eh
Delete12:12 i dont know which social climbers are you referring to pero grabe mo naman laitin mga kapwa mo Pilipino. it says more about you than them. maybe they worked hard and legally to buy those tickets at least hindi galjng sa tax anf pinangbili nila so let them enjoy if they are being rowdy the organizers at wimbledon wouldve asked them to leave... instead of just cheering for Alex tsk tsk tsk you managed to put negativity on such a positive occasion
Delete12:32 naku sis, masanay ka na kay Smiley. Malaki galit nyan sa kapwa nya Pinoys. Narevoke yata ang Phil passport nya kaya ganyan commente nya araw araw
Deleteway to go, alex! you make us proud!
ReplyDeleteindividual sports talaga tayo nageexcel esp non-height based sports. targetshooting, archery, fencing, billiards, weightlifting, gymnastics, skating, tennis, high jump even golf and etc. pag team sports sa SEA games lang tayo nananalo
ReplyDeleteSince when did we produce someone noteworthy in high jump? Baka pole vault yung sinasabi mo; they're very different sporting events.
DeleteShe got lucky, Hindi sya kagalingan
ReplyDeleteUi te. Pinagsasabi neto. Makakarating ba yan dyan kung di magaling. Pag di magaling kahit isang panalo, di niya mapapanalo
DeleteShe has a lot to improve on. Yes, but she is special. I am a tennis fan, mag 3 decades na. Grabe yun improvement niya from last year to this year
Huuuy ang bitter teh! She already reached Round of 16. So you call all her wins against Renata, Maya and Iga pure luck? Isip din pag may time
DeleteAng sarap hampasin ng tennis racket.
DeleteOA yung post speech nya
ReplyDeleteLike gurl, di ba? Wala pa nga siya sa quarterfinals pero arteng champion na. Sorry, just an observation. I love her though and I wish her the best pero let's be real lang.
Delete1:22 , 12:30 ang papait nyo. Hello! Huge achievement makarating cya sa round 16 ng Wimbledon. Maka OA kayo dyan.
DeletePakainin ng tennis ball
DeleteThe Amazing Eala!
ReplyDeleteKahilera na nya mga greats bringing honor and prestige to Pinas i.e Diaz, Obiena, Yulo, and of course Pacquiao.
Hoping she gets into the finals!
