Ive seen some gambling sites now have odds for the next match of Alex Eala with the top 4 Jessica Pegula.

You think the rookie will have a good odds for some gamblimg site?

There's nothing wrong with hoping for championship win for Alex Eala in the Miami Open. It’s truly an upset, considering she wasn’t even in the top 100 before facing these top players.

We also can’t deny that luck played a part in her Miami Open run, especially since Paula Badosa top 10 ranked player, withdrew from their match.

In just two hours, Alex Eala will face Jessica Pegula (Rank 4). The winner of that match will go up against World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka. Let’s show our support as Filipinos for Alex Eala—against all odds!

While Pegula has better odds, Eala has been on an incredible run defeating three Grand Slam champions, including world No. 2 Iga Swiatek. Eala's momentum and determination could make this an exciting and unpredictable match. Personally I would hedge vote this match since we have the same country as Eala but still you can't just ignore Pegula that is a strong contenter for her.

Personally I would hedge vote this match since we have the same country as Eala but still you can't just ignore Pegula that is a strong contenter for her.

And looking at the odds for Eala, she is a huge underdog so it's a good chance for us to make money if she will continue her incredible run and as you have said, when athletes have the momentum, it's very hard to stop them.

It will be fitting if she could advance to the finals, definitely Pegula is better rank than her, but it's hard to under estimate Eala. Just like how she destroyed Swiatek in just two sets. Maybe this match will go to three but I think he can overcome and continue her incredible tennis run at Miami.

The game ended and Pegula win. Oh no this is shocking or jinx. It seems many got overwhelmed by Alex previous win. It seems Pegula studied well Alex on her previous games and came prepared for counter. But the game is good and Alex made a decent play on her opponent. Doesnt mean shes weak, because of this. Congrats to all winners or bettor who bet on Pegula.

That's what I'm trying to say here,

It's premature to say though, and usually if we put some players and highlighted their accomplished, I don't know maybe we are going to jinx her in this next match or worst throughout her career.

So just stay calm and relax for now, against Pegula she is 3.80 underdog. I know that tennis fans are very eager to see another rising women's star such as Eala, specially on where she came from as it is not known the Philippines has produces a great tennis player.

In any case, we should give Eala her credit for her magical run in this tournament. Maybe not this year for her, but at 19 years old, she has a bright future ahead and for sure, if she can continue with this kind of performance, she might be the next champion in the next couple of years. So congrats to her, now it's Pegula vs Sabalenka for the finals this Saturday. I think the number seed might be the winner here.

That is ok, she has a run in the Miami Open. And she can get biggest purse,

After an inspiring run at the 2025 Miami Open, Alex Eala is set to bring home approximately $332,160 (around P19 million) in prize money as a semifinalist in the WTA 1000 event.

Eala fell short against World No. 4 Jessica Pegula in a grueling semifinal duel, 6(3)-7, 7-5, 3-6, on Friday. However, her deep tournament run comes with a significant boost in both earnings and ranking points, securing 390 WTA points.

The country, her parents, coaches and everyone around her should be proud of what she has accomplished. And with that, tennis is going to be different as everyone is going to watch her every match moving forward.

jinxing her throughout her entire career is almost impossible

she is young and talented she was able to beat grand slam winners even without having much previous accomplishments of her own this is i think the first time she got proper spotlight on her and no one really expected for a rookie to pull out performances the way that she did

she still has a long way to go but she can be one of the most successful tennis players in the future

if anyone had betted on her before would have made good profit since not many had believed in her previously

I don't know, but we have a local saying that it's better to not known this athletes and not give them the attention so that they can perform good with no pressures. But now with media and the whole country watching, it seems that there are weight in her shoulder now.

And it's not like the match is very easy, she gave everything as it goes to 3 sets. The first two sets are very close as well, and it could go either to her direction. I haven't seen the highlights of the match, but the first set when into a tie break and then the score in the second is 7-5 in Alex favor.

If she had taken care of the first set she would have advanced to the finals. She was leading 5-2, but she allowed her opponent to come back and win.

Maybe that’s just how the game goes as she lacks experience, but one thing’s for sure, she’ll come back stronger.
Hopefully, next time, we’ll see her in the finals.

Right now, she’s making headlines in major news outlets in the Philippines, even temporarily surpassing Duterte as the hottest topic.

I was just wondering if the government would offer her some kind of prize as well. In the Olympics, winners of gold, silver, and bronze medals receive rewards.

Although this isn’t the Olympics, it’s still a huge achievement for the country since she’s the first to do it.

If the government can’t provide a reward, maybe private companies will take the initiative. Hopefully, someone would do that so they could inspire players to work hard to succeed representing the country.

Yes, it might be good if there will be a private company like San Miguel, although if you can see in her shirt, she already has BPI and Globe who has been supporting here for more than 10 years now.

“I have always been very close to Globe. I’ve virtually grown up with them! They’ve sponsored me since I was 8, supporting me whether the tournament was local or at a Grand Slam. I’m very grateful that they saw the potential in me even at such a young age. Hopefully, they will keep on supporting me throughout the rest of my career,” Eala says.

And again she put our country on the map in this sports so for sure we are all proud of her. Even the President congratulated her in social media.

[Kemarit]

We will see, I have been following tennis for years, and I have seen careers falter in an instant after having like a magical run like here, even winning a championship or even a Grand Slam. So hopefully, not the case of Eala her, instead she should really work hard because she already has the mentality the way I see it. She just needs to improve his tennis skills and I think with the right coaches around here, they could give him more and really push her to be one of the best prospect and then see her one day when she matures, winning any tournament.

And it seems that the Filipino community is very hype around here. That's good, maybe she will be the next "Manny Pacquiao", that will put the country again and become the next sports sensation.

I really hope so. Hopefully, this is the beginning of more people appreciating tennis and taking the time to learn the sport. Success in international competitions isn’t impossible, as Alex Eala has already proven. She’s very humble, and I love that attitude as it shows she’s still hungry to improve.

As for Pacquiao, he’s just on a different level. Since most sports fans are male, I think that even if Alex achieves great success, she probably won’t surpass Pacman’s popularity. But that doesn’t take away from how inspiring her journey is.

Another fellow Kabayan that will be monitor on sports progress. Yeah she lose with Pegula, but its fine there will be plenty of chances for her to make up with the mistakes and gave more honor to Philippines. As shes only 19yrs old. With that age and achievement she can do more what her opponent did as long as she continue to improve.

Thats something if she can be the next Pacman.

She's probably the only one who lost but was still happy. Hehe. She's so humble, and she wasn't really expected to reach the semis, so wherever her journey ended, it was already a huge success especially since she made history for the Philippines.

Next time, with more experience from this tournament, she’ll likely mature even more. Who knows? Maybe she’ll make it to the finals!

That's how I see it after the match, she was enjoying her stint in this tournament, and even is she lost the match, everyone is cheering for here, even non Filipinos. I guess she now becomes the next hype in women's tennis.

Next time, with more experience from this tournament, she’ll likely mature even more. Who knows? Maybe she’ll make it to the finals!

She is 19 years old so for sure she will learn a lot from the next tournament that she will be joining. And hopefully make it to the finals, even ATP Masters 1000 or the 500. And as long as he goes and move to the next round and gain points, maybe she could break the top 50 rankings this year.

Alex Eala is a real beauty who probably has got the sport-oriented genes from her mother. She has already gave a good account of herself back to 2018 and 2020 and this year she just confirmed that her achievements were not taking by chance. Hope to see her WTA ranking in the first ten very soon. BTW, Jessica Pegula was looking very tired at the and of match, ^{young girl tired to death.}

There's a huge chance because Naomi Osaka became a champion at 20 years old, so maybe this year or early next year, Alex win will finally win a championship ( just my wild dream though).

Actually, the Philippines could have celebrated her success more if the former president hadn’t been taken to The Hague. 
Because now, the attention was too focused on him.

She has a bright future considering the achievement she already got at young age. She has a lot of minor title already as young pro. I believe she can get a major title soon.

Not only because of the issue to previous president rather tennis itself is not that popular in our country. If this happened during olympics which Filipino is watching due to gold medal I think he will become popular.

Maybe she can still represent the Philippines in the Olympics. The country definitely has a decent shot at at least a bronze medal, but it would be amazing if she wins gold as the rewards are huge, including a house and lot, tons of sponsorships, and instant celebrity status.

And since Alex is pretty, who knows? She might even become a movie star someday! Hehe.
