SEN. Bong Go sought support for Filipino athletes as he lauded Alexandra Eala for her historic win at the US Open.
The senator commended Eala for becoming the first Filipino to win a Grand Slam singles match on Day One of the 2025 US Open in New York City.
Go said Eala showcased grit and defeated world No. 14 Clara Tauson of Denmark in their first round match.
He plans to file a Senate resolution congratulating Eala and to advocate for continued investment in Filipino athletes, particularly those coming from the grassroots.
“I am one with the Filipino people and the sports community in congratulating Alexandra Eala for making tennis history for the Philippines,” Go said in a statement on Tuesday.
He said Eala’s victory is not just a sporting achievement “but a source of pride and inspiration for young Filipinos.” “It symbolizes Filipino perseverance, determination, and resilience amid adversity,” said Go, chairman of the Senate Committee on Sports and on Youth.
He said Eala’s growing international success is a “clear demonstration of the potential of Filipino athletes to excel in global competitions, given the right support and opportunities.”, This news data comes from:http://771bg.com
