Alex Eala poses with golden DC Open trophy in matching yellow dress

Alex Eala is serving face, fashion, and championship energy on and off the court.

Fresh from her historic victory at the 2026 Mubadala DC Open, the Filipina tennis ace is celebrating her milestone in style.

On Facebook, the Mubadala DC Open shared portraits of Alex posing with her gleaming trophy while wearing a matching yellow backless halter dress paired with white open-toe heels as the sun set.

“Serving first,” Mubadala DC Open captioned.

At her Philippine homecoming in July, Alex shared that she finds joy in expressing herself through fashion.

"I think, on one hand, it is a way for me to pay tribute to my culture and a slight nod to where I come from," she said.

"On the other hand, it's also just because I genuinely think it's really beautiful," she added. "When I wore the sampaguita hair tie last year, I felt super beautiful... I felt confident on court."

Alex also expressed interest in collaborating with Filipino designers for future engagements and described her personal style as "girly" yet "edgy."

"I'm still trying to figure it out, but it's a beautiful process that I'm really enjoying," she said.

Alex's victory in Washington, D.C., marked her first Women's Tennis Association (WTA) Tour title, making history as the first Filipino to win a WTA Tour singles crown.

Following her triumph, she climbed eight spots to a career-high World No. 20 in the WTA rankings. —Hermes Joy Tunac/JCB, GMA News
