🎾 EALA FACES MASSIVE WTA PENALTY — THEN SHARAPOVA STEPS IN! 🇵🇭 Alex Eala is facing almost certain WTA penalties for choosing the Asian Games over the China Open. Indonesia's Janice Tjen asked for the same exemption and was denied. The precedent is clear. But just when it seemed like she would have to carry the burden alone, Maria Sharapova stepped in. The five-time Grand Slam champion called on the WTA to show compassion. "She is a symbol of hope for millions of people," Sharapova said. The Philippine Senate rallied behind her. Senator Robin Padilla called for the government to pay any fine imposed on Eala. Now, Eala heads to Nagoya. The gold medal is waiting. Can Alex Eala bring home gold for the Philippines? 🏆 Subscribe and hit the bell for more tennis stories that inspire, captivate, and make history! 🔔
