FILIPINO boxing legend Manny Pacquiao has a little something to say to young netter Alex Eala.

"The world has yet to see more of you and what we Filipinos are capable of," he wrote on Twitter in a congratulatory post.

Eala recently made history for the Philippines, becoming the first Filipino to ever win a Singles Grand Slam as she conquered the 2022 US Open Girls, defeating World no. 3 Lucie Havlickova, 6-2, 6-4, at the final round.

Eala, 17, also had a perfect run, and did not drop a single set during the whole competition.

    The PacMan posted this alongside a poster featuring Alex with a PH flag on it.

    Before US Open glory, Eala already achieved two Grand Slams titles: the 2020 Australian Open Girls Doubles, and the 2021 French Open Girls Doubles.
