On a day the nation honored the national heroes for their bravery and endearing acts of patriotism, Alex Eala showed the same unyielding spirit and pulled off a historic victory at the US Open early Monday, August 25 (Philippine time).

- By KRISTEL SATUMBAGA

The 20-year-old Eala, the country's top-ranked tennis player, clawed her way back from the brink of defeat to stun world No. 14 Clara Tauson, 6-3, 2-6, 7-6 (11), and advance to the second round of the Grand Slam tournament.

Her win marked a monumental milestone as she became the first Filipino in the Open Era to win a Grand Slam singles match.

Though thousands of miles away from home, Eala felt the unwavering support of Filipino fans -- both in the stands and across social media.
