FILIPINOS ARE EVERYWHERE! ANOTHER FILIPINA SHINES AT THE US OPEN!

It’s not only Alex Eala representing Filipino pride on one of tennis’ biggest stages. Another Filipina, Bea Nikki Degoma, also earned her place on the courts of the US Open—this time as part of the tournament’s ball crew! 

Degoma was among the 300+ ball boys and girls selected to work at the prestigious Grand Slam tournament after reportedly making it through a highly competitive qualification process that started with around 3,000 applicants.

Imagine that—thousands tried, but only a few hundred earned the opportunity to step onto those famous courts. And among them was a Filipina! 

While Alex Eala continues to carry the Philippine flag through her tennis journey, Degoma’s achievement shows that Filipinos are making their mark in different roles behind the action as well.

From competing on the court to helping make the matches possible—Filipino pride is truly everywhere! 

Congratulations, Bea Nikki Degoma! Another inspiring Pinay making us proud on the international stage.

Alex Eala Shows Her Heart: Personally Thanks Fans at Makati Fan Meet

Filipino tennis star Alex Eala continues to win hearts both on and off the court. During a packed fan meet in Makati, Alex took time to personally interact with supporters, express her gratitude, and sign memorabilia for fans who came to see her.

Despite being surrounded by a huge and excited crowd, Alex made an effort to connect with as many supporters as possible. The moment highlighted another side of the young tennis star—her humility and appreciation for the people who continue to follow her journey.

More Than a Champion

Alex’s growing success has made her one of the most recognizable faces in Philippine tennis, but moments like this remind fans that achievements and rankings are only part of her story.

Talent. Humility. Gratitude. Inspiration. 

For many supporters, seeing Alex spend time with fans is especially meaningful. Young athletes look up to her, while longtime Filipino tennis followers have watched her carry the Philippine flag onto some of the sport’s biggest stages.

Her connection with her supporters shows that being a champion isn’t measured only by trophies and victories. It’s also about how an athlete treats the people cheering from the sidelines.


🇵🇭 Filipino Pride On and Off the Court

Every autograph, smile, and interaction becomes a special memory for a fan. And as Alex’s journey continues, the support of Filipinos at home and around the world continues with her.

Keep inspiring, Alex! The Philippines is behind you.
