  1. Alex lives and breathes tennis. A young Alex with the legend and now she is on her way to create her own. All the best to you Alex!

    1. Dinudumog kasi siya ng mga fans na Pinoy don. Maryosep. Mga Pinoy kahit saan ang tagline Proud to be Pinoy. YAAAAAAAKKKKK napaka second class mentality

    2. 12:12 what is your point?Do you have an idea how much they are paying to watch a tennis match.Even the sports commentators were saying that whenever Alex is playing Filipino fans are very supportive and are filling the stadium compared to other tennis players.And this is good for tennis sports in terms of revenue and promoting the sport itself.

    3. 12:12 AM Wait! Why is that 2nd class mentality? You want Filipinos to act coy and unaffected about things they feel strongly proud of? She’s the only good thing that’s happening to our country right at gusto mong magpaka plastic? So pretentious!!!

    4. 12:12, Filipinos supporting a Filipino, masama ba yun? mas hindi ok kung ibang bansa pa ang suportahan ng kapwa nating Filipino.

    3. Papano dinudumog ng mga Pinoy abroad na kahit nakapag abroad na eh nasa DNA pa din pagiging Noypi. Proud na proud. Parang bragging rights nila dun sa abroad si Eala lol

  3. I will never understand our countrymen bashing Alex when the world is actually applauding her. Keep reaching high, Alex! At 21, you’ve gone so far already.

    1. Criticizing the weaknesses of her game, e.g. serve, is valid. Criticizing the overwhelming hype despite lack of consistent result is also valid. Criticizing the poor behavior of her supporters is also valid. As a Filipino, I cheer for her and wish her the best in her career. However, as an avid tennis fan, I am not obligated to support her just because we share the same nationality. If she faces any of my personal favorites, I will support my favorite because I go with the game, not with the flag. I will stress, I don't find her game appealing. That's not bashing, it's a matter of personal preference.

    2. They don’t know tennis

    4. @9:40 then the above comment is not for you. Pinoy bashers ang target nung comment. Dami mong sinabi

      Delete
    5. 940, you know what’s wrong with your statement? You’ve stated all your criticisms about her because obviously, as you so stated, you don’t like her game. You say you’re a tennis fan and all you can say is you cheer for her as a fellow Filipino. So where’s the balance in your statement? No one forces you to support her. You’re just one audience from a million of tennis fans.

      Delete
    6. 9:40 you think so highly of yourself LOL ikaw na!

      Delete
    7. 9:40 just be thankful na you get to experience na may Pinoy sa sports na yan, a very good one pa! Jusko, no one forces you to support her wag din super feelingera kasi avid ka kuno ng tennis. That is very Pinoy, a very bad one. 🙄

      Delete
    8. 9:40 AM WTH are you talking about? Do you play tennis or real tennis fan? You’re just a casual one. Weak serve? How many miles per hour was her “weak serve”? Second serve is usually slower since you want to put it in the serving box not to give away point. Grass court surface is fast but with it’s uneven surface the ball gets “dead” on its rise. And players who studied their opponents put top spin or slice on their serve. And you humans get tired too.
      Eventually the rowdy filipino fans will learn quickly and enjoy tennis matches not only Alex. Give it a time.

      Inconsistent? Are you even watching or just pretentious? THIS IS HER ONLY 2nd YEAR as WTA pro! And she already surpassed what she did in her 1st year!
      Imagine she’s in 16th round and hopefully to quarterfinals, semis & finals and eventually win.
      Give me an effing break!
      JUST BE PROUD among 110 pinoys one of us made it.

    9. 9:40 when by sheer strike of luck your child will get into sports one day, even if local only (heck kahit brgy level lang), may your friends, relatives and neighbors give the same level of energy you are bestowing alex right now. betrayal hits the hardest when it's close to home

      Delete
    10. 940 Di ka nagets ng mga tards ni Eala. English kasi LoL
      To the tards. Stop shoving her to everybody's throats. There's such a thing as preference. Kung bilib na bilib kayo eh di kayo yun. Wag niyo pilitin ang iba. Napaghahalata ang pagiging second class citizen niyo. Sige pa. Proud Pinoy LoL 😂😂😂

    11. 9:40 do not belittle the efforts of Alex. Sa height na nga lang talo na siya pero nagsisikap ang bata. Yung mga salonpas tapal niya kita mo na pinaghihirapan niya ang game niya.

      Delete
    12. 9:40 PM Do you really know tennis? I highly doubt it!
      Alex is a very good returnee, she dives like Boris Becker in grass court!

      Delete
    13. I dont get it either. She’s just playing tennis, why bash her? Because she came from a place of privelege? Most if not all tennis players do! Ano gusto ng bashers? Yung gumapang sa lusak na mahirap, naghiganti, yumaman at nanalo sa tennis? So telenovela mentality! Get your head out of the gutter guys! Tama na ang crab mentality!

    14. 4:28 AM Tennis ignoramus. I play tennis, I watch Grand Slam, I speak English and I make very good money. I like how Alex play and I am DAMN PROUD of her.
      YOU are the 2nd CLASS. Know nothing about tennis.

  4. Awww that's super lush.
    I remember I was in tears with her first grand slam way back 2004 winning over Serena Williams.I root hard for her.I find her so pretty like Anna K.

    2. Hala natalo nia ang Wimbledon champion last year pero maliit na bagay lang sayo.Baka di ka nga makapasok sa Wimbledon court as a viewer eh.Alex played in center court at big achievement na po yon.Ilan sa top seed na ang nalaglag so di rin sila consistent kahit nasa top 5 sila.

    3. 4:30 nahiya naman si Alex sayo. Ikaw na magaling

    2. 11:05 hampasin kaya kita ng tennis racket, as if may impluwensiya si AE dyan?! For what?!

    3. 12:56 AM WTF you talking about? Alex is a good LEFTY RETURNEE for her young age and 2nd WTA pro tour.

    4. Favorite mo ampalaya, papaitan? Ako favorite ko rin pero din naman ako bitter, especially to a fellow kababayan giving pride sa country nya and she is proud of her roots. Sad to say a few buti n lang just a few who are not proud, kinahihiya pa. Over whelming achievements and yet kinahihiya pa. Magparetoke na lang kayo, change your name ku g ayaw nyo ma recognize as pinoys, buset.

    5. buti pa yung mga legit na tennis legends na aappreciate siya..ikaw may pa over over hype pang nalalaman..iligo mo na lang yang inggit mo sa katawan teh'..

    6. Pag inggit, pikit na lang.

  9. Di naman siya overhyped, well supported lang talaga siya ng mga Pinoy. May WTA rankings naman so she is rated where she is supposed to be. Di ko gets na ang dami nyang basher na Pinoy as if may ambag tayo sa tennis career nya. Nakikiride lang naman tayo sa success nya buti nga may representation pa tayo sa rich man’s sport na tennis. Saka siya lang naman player natin sa high level tennis, bakit di nalang suportahan. She is still new to the main WTA tour and she is an improving player. She’ll achieve greater things in the years to come.

  10. Nike marketing....endorse her!

  11. She IS a star. This is the kind of talent that gives our country honor. Sa kababuyan ng gobyerno natin ngayon, this news pacifies our bad image.

    The likes of Manny, Lea and some others who might not have the privilege or media milestone. Hindi yung puro nakaw and flaunting the "crazy rich asian" lifestyle 🤮

    1. Real talk, I am proud of Manny and Lea but ibang level tong Tennis. That's one of the most watched sport next to Football and cricket. Mga elites pa nanunuod nya.

  12. Kaya marami rin humahanga at hahanga pa sa susunod kay Alex kasi bihira kang may balinkinitan na katawan ang unaarangkada sa Tennis at Asian pa na maigsi ang kamay at biyas. Kaya sa mga feeling Tennis enthusiasts dyan, kung hindi ka bilib kay Alex hindi ka tunay fan ng Tennis. Endurance at Power game ang Tennis. Si Dianne Castillejo nga nahirapan maging Pro player before na mas konti at mas less competitive. Ngayon mas marami naglalaro dahil mas nagtriple ang world population at mas accesible na ang nga sports. Dati pang mayaman lang or may budget ang bansa ng manlalaro.

  13. Mayaman ba sina Alex? Expensive kasi yung sa school ni Rafa Nadal, dba? I heard paragn executive or high ranking employer ata ang parent sa Globe Tel kaya sponsored ng Ayala companies like Globe and BPI.

  14. Kaaliw ng ganito. You have a photo with someone you admire when you were younger then you can document it when you are a star player already. Parang yung swimmer nun na nabeat nya si Michael Phelps and has a photo with him when he was younger too
