Eala Admires Sharapovas Outfits and Spirit from Childhood!

The world’s number 70, Philippine player **Aleksandra Eala**, shared that she incorporated elements into her game from the legendary 14-time French Open champion **Rafael Nadal** and five-time Grand Slam titleholder **Maria Sharapova** during her childhood.

«I watched many of Sharapova’s matches when I was younger, and she instilled in me her resilience and strength. I drew a lot of my fighting spirit from watching Nadal. However, I think what I admired most as a child were her outfits!» Eala remarked in an interview with Tennis Channel.

Currently competing at the Masters event in Rome, Eala is set to face Ukrainian player Marta Kostyuk in the first round. The tournament in Rome runs from May 6 to 17, with defending champion Iga Swiatek from Poland.
