Coming from a country with small tennis lineage, Elaa is already accustomed to being a path for the Philippines – although she is still a teenager.
In 2021, it became the first Filipini to win the Tor match in the Union of Professional Tennis players, and the first to win the novice Grand Salam title with the title of 2022 US open.
New York's victory even led the teenager to the Vogue Back Home cover.
Now Eyla declared herself to a wider world audience, after she overcame some of the biggest names in the WTA tour to reach the last four.
She graduated from Rafael Nadal Academy, and she only won two main games before her amazing run in Miami.
Three of its four victories at the WTA 1000 event – the championship layer below the four major championships – faced against the Grand Slam.
Gilina Ostabinko, the French Open in the second round of 2017, followed a winning of earthquakes over the fifth number of Madison Keys – who won the Australian Open in January – in the third round.
Ella got a path in the fourth round when Paula Padosa, the tenth Spanish seed, withdrew, but once again showed the reason for being considered an emerging star in the quarter -finals on Wednesday.
Eyla produced a fierce, and hit a wave of winners, well in her first professional match against Swiaatek in Poland.
However, they previously met when Swiaatek presented, along with Nadal, Eala, a graduation certificate two years ago.
“It is very surrealist,” she added. “I am very happy and very blessed to be able to compete with such a player at this stage.
“My coach told me to run, to go to every ball, to take all the opportunities that I can, because the four -time championship champion will not give you victory.”
