Alexandra Eala Praised by Janice Tjen — and the 10 Words That Calmed the Storm

After Alexandra Eala’s breathtaking match, praise flooded in from across the tennis world. Among the most heartfelt came from Indonesian tennis player Janice Tjen, who wrote on social media:

“She is the pride of Southeast Asia, a great source of inspiration for me and all of us. Keep shining, Alex!”

The post quickly went viral. Many fans applauded Janice’s sincerity, calling it a beautiful show of solidarity within the region. But not everyone agreed. Some Indonesian fans criticized her, claiming she was “overpraising” Eala, and suggesting that Janice was trying to “win Eala’s favor” to strengthen ties.

Janice didn’t hesitate to respond. With calm but firm words, she shut down the negativity, reminding her critics that supporting greatness is never a weakness.

And then came Alexandra herself. Without drama, without debate, she quietly ended the storm. She shared Janice’s post with a short caption — just ten words that felt like a balm to the heated exchange.

“Grateful for the love, respect, and unity in tennis.”

Ten words. Nothing more. Yet they carried the weight of sportsmanship, humility, and regional pride. In one gesture, Eala not only silenced the noise but also reminded everyone why she is admired both on and off the court.
