00:00Mga kapuso, proud na ikinwento ni Pinay Tennis Sensation Alex Iala
00:04ang kanyang makasaysayang Wimbledon journey,
00:07kabilang ang pinag-usapang litrato ng kanyang horizontal forehand.
00:11Sa gitna niyan at sa pagiging abala sa iba't ibang commitment,
00:14kamusta naman kaya ang buhay ni Alex sa labas ng tennis court?
00:18Nakatutok si Oscar Oida!
00:23One thing I've learned about myself is
00:26how to control my emotions
00:29and how I can dictate my emotions rather than let my emotions dictate me.
00:35Hanggang sa pagharap sa Philippine media,
00:37bit-bit ng Pinay Tennis Sensation
00:39ang maturity yung ipinamalas niya sa mundo
00:42matapos ang tennis grass season lalo sa Wimbledon.
00:47Ngayong taon ay pinatunayang kaya niyang ituloy
00:51ang magical run na sinimulan sa Miami Open noong 2025
00:56nang dagdagan pa ang listahan ng mga top 10 players
01:00na kaya niyang talunin.
01:02Bunga niyan ang ngayon'y iconic horizontal forehand ni Iala
01:07kung saan kahit nadapa ay pilit niyang inunat ang braso,
01:12pinalo ang bola at naipasok sa kabila ng net.
01:15And I'm so grateful because it was a hard shot to do
01:20and when I saw the photo afterwards,
01:22wow, parang ginawa ko yun.
01:24At sa kabila ng sunod-sunod na tagumpay
01:26at lumalaking pangalan sa mundo ng tennis,
01:30nananatiling nakatuntong sa lupa
01:31ang 21-anyos na Filipina star.
01:35Para kay Alex,
01:37mas mahalagang kilala mo ang sarili mo
01:39kaysa malulong sa ingay ng kasikatan.
01:43It's not an easy life, I think.
01:48We definitely go through our hardships
01:50and maybe a misconception
01:54that's popping into my head is that
01:56I've heard, I don't know if this is true,
01:59people say that tennis players can be self-centered.
02:03I don't think that's true.
02:05Sobrang tight ng schedule ni Alex
02:07kaya ilan sa mga pinaka-na-miss niya
02:09ay ang pag-uwi sa bansa.
02:11I haven't had much time to catch up
02:13with my family
02:16or with my friends that I have from childhood.
02:20So that's something I should look into.
02:23But that being said,
02:24I'm super grateful for everything
02:26that I'm able to experience.
02:28And every time I come home,
02:29I'm very, very happy.
02:30At kagabi,
02:32nang ipaghanda siya ng reception sa Malacanang
02:34ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos
02:36na aminadong big fan.
02:38We have found in you
02:44a champion,
02:45a champion who has made the Philippines proud.
02:49We are all, 110 million of us,
02:51we are all here behind you,
02:53wheeling you on to greater success.
02:55I feel like all the hard work
02:58that I've done is seen.
03:01All the hours that aren't on TV
03:03are seen and validated and appreciated.
03:08So thank you so, so much.
03:11Paghanga pa ng Pangulo kay Alex,
03:14anuman daw layo ng narating ng tennis star,
03:18bit-bit niya ang puso ng isang Pilipina.
03:21You never fail
03:23to remind everyone
03:25that you are a Filipina.
03:28That's very touching for all of us,
03:31that you don't forget the rest of us,
03:33you don't think that you somehow
03:35left it all behind,
03:36quite the contrary.
03:38You always seem to give the impression
03:40that it is because you are a Filipina
03:43that you are doing so.
03:43I will continue to represent the Philippines
03:47in the best way that I possibly can.
03:49I carry the flag with me wherever I go.
03:55And I am a firm believer that
03:58where you come from
03:59is a big part of who you are.
04:01Ang tanong,
04:02may buhay pa ba siya outside tennis?
04:05Yes, I have a life outside of tennis.
04:07I love to go out with them
04:09when our schedules align,
04:10I love to try new places
04:11when I'm traveling a lot,
04:13I love to try the food.
04:14It's difficult to have hobbies
04:15that are like other sports
04:18or physically demanding
04:20because I do give everything
04:21that I have into the sport that I'm in.
04:24E ang love life,
04:25meron ba?
04:27I love my family.
04:28I love so much.
04:29I love my family.
04:30I love my job.
04:31I love my friends.
04:32I love myself.
04:33So there is so much love.
04:35Sa ngayon,
04:36nag-ahanda na muli si Alex
04:37sa iba't-ibang sasabakang
04:39international tennis tournament,
04:40kabilang ang Asian Games.
04:43Oscar Oida,
04:45Nakatutok 24 Horas.
