Eala undeterred by tough loss
Manila Bulletin
|January 21, 2026
Alex Eala remains undeterred by her first-round exit in her Australian Open main draw debut on Monday, Jan. 19, saying she is still "taking it all in" as she adjusts to life as one of the Philippines' brightest and most talked about stars on the international sports stage.
Filipinos came in droves to Melbourne Park to watch her face Alycia Parks, and the 6-0, 3-6, 2-6 defeat to the American felt like a harder pill to swallow than her previous losses.
"That's one of the things that makes a loss like (today) a little bit harder as I know a lot of people were rooting for me. The fact that everyone came out and really squeezed into that cozy court, I really appreciate it," Eala said during the post-match media conference.
