ROME – After a strong showing at the Madrid Open, Filipina tennis sensation Alex Eala now sets her sights on the prestigious Italian Open, running from May 6 to 18 at the historic Foro Italico.
Eala, 19, will face top-tier competition—including World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka—as she prepares for her Grand Slam main draw debut at Roland-Garros later this month. Known for her grit and growth on clay, Eala views the Italian Open as a crucial test on her road to Paris.
National flags, including that of the Philippines, were raised at Foro Italico as players from around the world converge for this key WTA Tour event.
With global Filipino support behind her, Eala steps into Rome with momentum and determination—ready to prove she belongs among the sport’s elite.
