Alex Eala is coming home — and it's going to be a full-on celebration!
The Filipino tennis star will play against Indonesia's No. 1 women's player, Janice Tjen, live at the Philippine Arena on Dec. 8, 2026. The homecoming match is set to headline an afternoon of tennis featuring rising Philippine talent, a celebrity match, and fan experiences.
For supporters who have followed Eala's journey from afar, the event offers a chance to see her compete on home soil and turn the arena into a giant "welcome home" moment. The main match is scheduled for 3 PM, with the event running from the 10:30 AM gate opening through the trophy presentation and closing remarks at 5:35 PM.
Before Eala and Tjen take the court, the program will also spotlight the next generation of Philippine tennis. "Hot Stars," featuring rising PHILTA stars and juniors, is scheduled for 1:45 PM.
At 2:20 PM, the court gets a star-studded experience with a tennis match pairing celebrities with professional players. The announced lineup includes Manny Pacquiao, Anne Curtis, Piolo Pascual, Andrea Brillantes, Donny Pangilinan, and Julia Barretto.
For those looking to make the occasion extra special, a Platinum Package is also available. It includes prime floor seating at Row 1 toward the player entrance, as well as access to the official pre-match gala dinner and player meet-and-greet on Dec. 7 at an unannounced but premier Manila venue.
