OMGGGGG waking up to the Alex Eala win is insane 😭😭😭 This is just an incredible, generational breakthrough run she’s having! I’ve been following her career since she was literally 12 years old winning Les Petits As and seeing this result is still just unbelievable 😭😭❤️
The Fairytale Continues...

Alexandra Eala is on a divine mission in Miami.

The former US Open junior champ stuns Iga Swiatek, 6-2, 7-5, to reach the semifinals of the WTA 1000 event.

Having already ousted Jelena Ostapenko and Madison Keys, Eala will smash into the top 100 at least #75 win or lose
