Filipino tennis sensation Alexandra “Alex” Eala is set to make history at the 2026 Wimbledon Championships, running from June 29 to July 12, as she becomes the first Filipino ever to be seeded in a Grand Slam event. She secured her place and earned a coveted tournament seeding thanks to an incredible grass-court surge. Her buildup included winning the Birmingham Open and pulling off stunning upsets against top-10 players at the Berlin Open.
Eala will participate in both the Singles and Doubles categories. While her precise first-round singles opponent will be locked in when the final brackets are drawn, her seeding guarantees a matchup against a lower-ranked player, qualifier, or wildcard. In the doubles tournament, she will partner with Czech player Nikola Bartůňková, building on the strong chemistry they developed during the grass-court season, including their run at the Birmingham Open.
