MANILA, Philippines- Breakout star Alex Eala is officially marching into her Grand Slam main draw debut.

Eala is part of the 104 direct entries to the 2025 French Open from May 19 to June 8 in Paris as announced Saturday, marking her much-awaited stint in the main tournament after multiple exits in the qualifiers.

The 19-year-old Filipina sensation finally did it after reaching a career-high ranking of No. 72 in the Women’s Tennis Association, thanks to a historic Cinderella run in the Miami Open.

Only the Top 100 players get a direct invite to all the Grand Slam and W1000 tourneys, including the Roland Garros as part of the four annual tennis majors.

Previously, Eala was making it to the Grand Slam only as a wildcard and only in the qualifying rounds, where she fell short at least three times in the finale.

She became the first Filipina WTA semifinalist and the first to beat three Grand Slam champions, including two Top-5 players.
