What's next for Alex Eala after Wimbledon?
Alex Eala recently made history as she had her first WTA Tour finals stint in the Eastbourne Open and made her Wimbledon debut afterwards.
In Eastbourne, Eala fell short against Maya Joint for the crown, while she had first round exits in both singles and doubles tournaments of Wimbledon.
But after achieving major feats in the past few months, including a dream run in the Miami Open last March and reaching her career-high ranking at no. 56 after the Eastbourne Open, the grind does not stop yet for Eala.
According to Eala, she will head to North America for tournaments in Montreal in Canada, Cincinnati in the United States, and Monterrey in Mexico.
After that, she will head to New York for the US Open.
"After that, like I said, we shift to Asia. So, there will be a few around China. I know there's one in Hong Kong in October. And, yeah, around, you know, closer to home. So, if anyone wants to come," Eala said in a meet and greet event organized by Globe.
While she has been competing left and right in major tournaments, Eala said she still dreams of winning her first Grand Slam win.
"There's still a lot for me to achieve, I think. There are a lot of big tournaments lined up, not just the US Open, so I hope to play well there and of course try to get my first Grand Slam win."

(REUTERS/Mike Blake) LOS ANGELES - Organizers of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics have named TV and film executive Peter Rice as head of ceremonies and content, marking the first time a major Hollywood figure will oversee the creative production of the Olympic and Paralympic ceremonies. Rice, who has had senior leadership experience with 21st Century Fox and The Walt Disney Company, will serve as lead executive producer for both the Opening and Closing Ceremonies in Los Angeles. "Our ceremonies will capture the energy, innovation and creativity of Los Angeles as well as the emotion that exists at the heart of every Olympic Games," Rice told Reuters in an interview. "The challenge is to welcome the world in a way that's not only memorable, but truly representative of LA's unique spirit - a city that stands at the crossroads of creativity, sports, and art." The British American producer will shape the creative vision and oversee production of all four ceremonies at two iconic venues: the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and the newly built SoFi Stadium. He said his experience with global sporting events like the Super Bowl, World Series, and FIFA World Cup has prepared him for the task, and emphasized that assembling a world-class production team was his top priority. "We need people with deep Olympic experience who can also tap into LA's creativity and energy," he said, adding that the selection of a production company is expected by year's end. LA28 Chairperson Casey Wasserman expressed enthusiasm for Rice's appointment, citing their 25-year friendship and Rice's unique blend of business, technical, financial and creative skills. "I knew he was our number one draft pick," Wasserman said. Rice, whose projects have earned 51 Academy Award and 293 Emmy nominations, hopes the ceremonies reflect Southern California's spirit of optimism. "It's a place where people go to pursue their dreams, and the Olympics are all about people's dreams," he said. The LA Games open on July 14, 2028, with the Paralympic Games following in August. It will be the first time Los Angeles has hosted a Paralympics. —Reuters

(Photo: PBA Media) The San Miguel Beermen vowed to bounce back despite falling short of closing out the series against TNT in Game 5 of the PBA Philippine Cup finals. San Miguel lost to TNT, 86-78, which extended the best-of-seven series to Game 6. "Sobrang flat ng start namin, dami naming lapses," 12-time Best Player of the Conference June Mar Fajardo said. "Up pa rin naman kami sa series so positive lang kami," he added as the Beermen hold a 3-2 lead. For Jericho Cruz, however, TNT seemed to be the hungrier team as the Tropang 5G went all out against the Beermen. "Pinakakulang namin 'yung effort talaga kasi 'yung effort namin, walang-wala sa effort nila. Kumbaga 'yung effort namin to the highest level. Kami parang up and down, up and down," Cruz said. Fajardo, meanwhile, said TNT should not be taken lightly, especially with their Grand Slam hopes still alive. "Hindi mo basta babalewalain 'yung TNT. Champion team 'yan, back-to-back champion, 'di mo talaga sila puwede maliitin. Kailangan talaga ilabas namin ang 100% sa games." Game 6 of the series will be played on Friday. —JKC, GMA Integrated News

Almond Vosotros out to repay 'second chance' at TNT
PBA Philippine Cup. July 23, 2025. Almond Vosotros of TNT against the San Miguel Beermen in Game 5 of the finals. (Photo: PBA Media) Almond Vosotros is not taking any opportunity for granted and sees every minute on the floor with TNT as a chance to prove he still belongs on the big league. The 35-year-old guard parted ways with the Tropang 5G in April, but was brought back in late May to reinforce a depleted TNT backcourt reeling from injuries to key playmakers Jayson Castro, Rey Nambatac, and Jielo Razon. Recently, another veteran court general Simon Enciso went down with an eye injury and had already missed a couple of games in their ongoing PBA Philippine Cup finals duel against San Miguel. And when Vosotros got the green light, and he delivered. With San Miguel looking to slam the door on TNT's Grand Slam dreams in Game 5, Vosotros, a former 3x3 specialist, answered the call and provided the spark. He fired a triple and then completed a layup to cap off a 13-2 TNT run to open the fourth, foiling a comeback attempt from the Beermen. He then dished out an assist that led to a Jordan Heading three-pointer as TNT established a 77-59 cushion halfway through the frame. He finished with 11 points to go with one rebound, two assists, and a steal to help TNT revive its flickering grand slam hopes alive. "Unang-una ayokong masayang 'yung opportunity na binibigay sa akin ni Coach Chot [Reyes] at ng TNT. As in, bibihira 'yung mabigyan ng second chance so hangga't may opportunity na makakatulong ako sa team, gagawin ko," Vosotros said. "Lagi naman kaming sinasabihan ni Coach Chot na hangga't may pag-asa talagang lalaban lang kami palagi. Kung may opportunity na makabalik kami ngayong series, 'yun lang 'yung focus namin." Vosotros shared he signed only a two-month contract with TNT, or only until the end of this month, that's why the former 13th overall pick is making the most of his time with TNT. "Sa totoo lang, sa lahat ng experience ko sa 5-on-5 ngayon lang ako nabigyan ng opportunity, ngayon lang ako nabigyan ng minutes since nagpa-draft ako," he added. "So sobrang thankful ako kay Coach Chot na ayun nga, binigyan ako ng second chance tapos ngayon I'm playing in the finals. Ayoko lang masayang 'yung opportunity." —JKC, GMA Integrated News
