INDIAN WELLS, California — Long lines had already formed outside of Stadium 3 six hours before the start of Alexandra Eala's second-round match against Dayana Yastremska at the BNP Paribas Open on Friday.
Holding Filipino flags and wearing shirts that read "Alexandra Eala fan club," hundreds of enthusiastic fans looked desperate to make their way inside to get a glimpse of the 20-year-old sensation. And there were still two matches to be played before Eala took the court.
Even when delays pushed the match until late in the chilly desert evening, making it the latest starting match of the day, many of Eala's devoted fans remained in the stands, covered in winter coats and blankets, to cheer her on. After three hard-fought sets, Eala was victorious, 7-5, 4-6, 7-5, just before the clock struck midnight and the still sizable crowd roared in ovation. A "Laban Alex!" sign — meaning "Fight Alex" in Tagalog — was in the front row.
