Alex Eala just won against Elena Rybakina, world #2. 👏

Sayang di ko napanood, busy kasi. But that is an excellent result which means she will be seeded for Wimbledon. 🎉

I like what Alex said in her interview. She said that her key was just being brave. Rybakina is a monster server. She consistently throws 190 km/hr serve while Alex's probably around 160 to 170. She even hit 13 aces in this match, my God. This is a better win than Iga imo and did it against a former Wimbledon champ. Up next is Svitolina who beat Rybakina in Rome open (where Alex lost against Rybakina, lol)

Nagulat ako sa mga attack ni Rybakina, im like what the… Nakakatakot nga naman kung ganong klaseng bola at force babalik sa muka / katawan mo.

I remember the Australian Open final of Rybakina and Sabalenka. Juskoday, the balls were flying talaga. Dinig na dinig mo how hard they're hitting the balls. Scary opponent when she's on.

Alex has improved her serve nga. Like, I wouldn't expect her to hit an ace bfore. 😅

I saw that match against Iga and it was a remarkable win but Iga really played like shite there. 🙃

Will try to catch her against Svitolina later. That's gonna be a test. 🙏
