Al Bello, Getty Images/AFPMANILA – Alex Eala, the newest face of Philippine tennis, will be making her Grand Slam debut at the 2025 French Open next month.

This was after Eala was officially added to the main entry list for women’s singles of Roland Garros.

This will be the 19-year-old tennis star's first appearance at a Grand Slam as a professional.

Fresh from her Cinderella run at the 2025 Miami Open, Eala now finds herself ranked 72nd by the WTA, although she's the 74th seed in the French Open.

Also included in the list are second seed and four-time French Open champion Iga Swiatek of Poland, whom Eala defeated in Miami.

Aryna Sabalenka, the winner of the Florida tilt and currently the top-ranked women's tennis player, enters the clay court tournament as the No. 1 seed.

Eala is currently competing at the Oeiras Ladies Open in Portugal, where she took down Anouk Koevermans of the Netherlands on Tuesday. She is the No. 1 seed in the WTA125 tournament.
