The Filipino tennis ace brings home the gold medal 26 years after the Philippines last won in the Women’s Singles Tennis category but not without controversy
Alex Eala earns the Philippines’ another historic win as she defeats Thailand’s Mananchaya Sawangkaew in the 2025 Southeast Asian Games’ Women’s Singles tennis finals on December 18. Eala won in two straight sets, 6-1, 6-2, in a contentious match that saw three wrong calls from a linesman and multiple lulls that disrupted the world no. 53.
The Philippines’ flag bearer, the 20-year-old tennis phenomenon beat Malaysia’s Shihomi Leong, 6-3, 6-2, in the quarterfinals, and Thailand’s Naklo Thasaporn, 6-1, 6-4, in the semis on the way to the finals against Sawangkaew to a packed crowd at the National Tennis Development Center in Nonthaburi, Thailand.
Eala delivers the Philippines’ 39th gold medal in the 2025 SEA Games, ending a 26-year gold medal drought in the women’s tennis singles. It was 1999 when Maricris Fernandez took home the Philippines’ last gold medal in the category.
