@joseiswriting: Have you felt EalaMania yet? 🇵🇭🎾 At just 21, Filipina @alex.eala entered the @usopen ranked World No. 18 and seeded No. 17, fresh off her first @wta title and a historic @wimbledon run. Her practices draw crowds. Her matches fill marquee courts. Beyond her rankings, wins, and fans, something much bigger is emerging: The power and scale of Filipinos around the world. Andy Roddick told Alex, “You’ve created a movement.” He’s right. Alex is getting the job done, and an entire diaspora that has always been there is suddenly becoming impossible for the world to overlook. Salamat, Alex, for making the world see just how far Filipinos have reached. Filipino is global. Filipino is mainstream. 🇵🇭 @livbedumb @j0rdanclarks0n @pablotorrefindsout #tennis #alexeala #USOpen #philippines #pinay #leasalonga #mannypacquiao
