Alexandra Eala has ambitions to win the top titles in professional tennis.
The 19-year-old announced herself on the world stage by reaching the semi-finals of the Miami Open.
Eala defeated three Grand Slam champions in successive matches to reach the last four, and she certainly made a great impression on the fans that watched her play.
The tennis world is eager to see just how far Alexandra Eala can go in the sport, and she has the drive and desire to reach the very top.
Which Grand Slam does Alexandra Eala want to win the most?
Every tennis player dreams of winning at least one Grand Slam title in their career.
Very few have reached the pinnacle of the sport however, and Eala aims to get there, and she wants the biggest title of them all.
During an interview with Talking Tennis, Eala was asked if she would prefer to win a World number one or win a Grand Slam, and the Filipino player chose winning the Wimbledon Championships.
“Grand slam. Wimbledon,” the World number 72 said. “But if I could I would choose both!”
Alexandra Eala responds to comparisons with Leylah Fernandez
Eala is a left handed player who hit some thunderous forehands throughout the Miami Open, especially off the return of serve.
Her athleticism also made it difficult for her opponents to hit through her, and she is very resilient on court.
Eala’s playing style and characteristics on court have seen her compared with fellow leftie Leylah Fernandez, who reached the 2021 US Open final.
When asked about those comparisons, Eala also shared what she thinks about the World number 26, who she has yet to play on the WTA Tour.
“I am not familiar with those comparisons but I think Leylah is a great player. She made the final at the US Open a couple of years back, so she is a girl who plays in her own way,” she said.
“I am not too close with her, we have had a couple of interactions, she seems like a nice girl. So I am not mad about that at all! She is a good player.”
