Despite not winning a match in her Wimbledon debut, Filipina tennis sensation Alex Eala will still have millions of reasons to smile. 😍
And millions of pesos worth of prize money is one of them.💵🏆
Eala, who bowed out of the first round of both singles’ and doubles’ play at Centre Court, will still receive prize money despite her early exits.
According to Wimbledon, those who play in the first round of the Grand Slam competition will bring home £66,000, or P5.07 million.
If she crashed into the second round of the competition, she would have brought home £99,000, but unfortunately, she fell to defending champion Barbora Krejcikova.
Aside from the £66,000, the Filipina and her partner, Eva Lys, will bring home £16,500, or a total of P1.27 million, as a pair.
Eala and Lys also bowed out of the doubles’ action after getting dominated by Ingrid Martins and Quinn Gleason, 4-6, 2-6.
According to an article by the BBC, players who reach the first round will bring home the money despite not winning a match.
