Filipina tennis ace Alex Eala vowed to come back stronger after her early exit in the 2025 French Open women’s singles tournament.

Eala fell to Colombia’s Emiliana Arango in the first round of the tourney last Sunday.

“First Grand Slam main draw in the books! Back to the drawing board for now, but will come back stronger next time,” she wrote in a social media post on Tuesday (Philippine time).

 

Eala, however, will still compete in the doubles tournament which will commence tonight at 9:00 p.m.

She paired with Renata Zarazúa of Mexico and they will face the duo of United Kingdom’s Emily Appleton and Spain’s Yvonne Cavallé Reimers in the first round.
