MusaGet ready, tennis fans—Alex Eala is about to trade the clay and hard courts for the elegant (and notoriously tricky) lawns of the British summer. The Filipina rising star has officially unveiled her grass-court schedule ahead of her much-anticipated debut at Wimbledon, and it’s giving major “breakout season” energy.
With her powerful baseline game and evolving all-court prowess, Eala is entering unfamiliar territory—but she’s not tiptoeing in. She’ll kick things off at a couple of ITF and WTA warm-up tournaments in the UK, including the Surbiton Trophy and the Nottingham Open, both key stops for players looking to sharpen their grass instincts. These tune-up events aren’t just practice—they’re a chance to test herself against seasoned grass veterans and get used to the fast, low bounce of the surface that has undone even the greatest of baseliners.
Let’s be real—grass isn’t exactly the go-to surface in Southeast Asia. But if anyone’s game can adapt, it’s Eala’s. Her footwork has improved immensely over the past season, and her net play has quietly become one of her underrated weapons. With smart scheduling and the right momentum, she’s not heading into Wimbledon to just experience it—she’s aiming to shake things up.
The expectations are high, but so is the buzz. For Filipino fans, Wimbledon 2025 isn’t just about strawberries and cream—it’s about seeing their tennis pride take on the sport’s most iconic stage.
Mark the dates. Alex Eala’s grass era is officially on.
