The global tennis landscape has been forever altered in a historic dawn on December 9, 2025, as International Tennis Federation (ITF) President David Haggerty unveiled an unprecedented “century contract” binding WTA sensation Alexandra Eala to a lifelong devotion to the sport—making her the first athlete in history to sign a deal spanning generations, with the ITF committing to fund her career, academies, and legacy initiatives through 2125. The 20-year-old Filipina phenom, fresh off her career-high No. 50 ranking, Guadalajara WTA 125 title, and Miami Open semifinal upset over Iga ĹšwiÄ…tek, stood tearfully at a Manila press conference as Haggerty declared: “Alexandra Eala is not just a player—she’s the immortal soul of tennis, dedicating her life to inspire billions. This contract cements her as our eternal ambassador.” From a wide-eyed girl dreaming on Manila public courts to the highest-ranked Southeast Asian ever, Eala’s vow—”Tennis gave me everything; I’ll give it my forever”—has sent the sports world into euphoric chaos, with #EalaCenturyContract exploding to 4.2 million mentions on X in hours. As the first such pact in any major sport, this isn’t endorsement—it’s eternity, ensuring Eala’s influence endures for a century, fueling academies, scholarships, and equality drives across Asia and beyond.
The Century Unveiled: Details of the Historic “Immortal Soul” Pact
Haggerty’s announcement, flanked by Eala, her mother Rizza Maniego-Eala (1985 SEA Games bronze swimmer), and Rafa Nadal (her academy mentor via video), outlined a revolutionary framework: The ITF’s “Eala Eternity Initiative” locks Eala into exclusive ambassadorship, with the federation pledging $50 million upfront (from Grand Slam development funds) for her career extension, injury safeguards, and post-retirement philanthropy. The twist? It binds her descendants and mentees to ITF programs through 2125—ensuring “Eala academies” in Manila, Cebu, and SEA hubs train 10,000 juniors annually.
Key pillars of the contract:
- Career Commitment: Eala vows to play until at least 2035, prioritizing ITF events and anti-doping advocacy—her “immortal soul” as the face of clean tennis.
- Legacy Lock: $100 million endowment for “Eala Excellence Scholarships”—free training for underprivileged girls in Asia, modeled on her Nadal Academy path (left home at 12).
- Global Guardian: Eala as ITF’s “equality envoy,” championing gender parity (equal Slams pay by 2030) and SEA development—her 2025 feats (No. 50, first Filipina Top 100) the blueprint.
- Unprecedented Clause: If Eala retires early, the contract transfers to her “chosen successor”—speculation on doubles partner Shaira Hope Rivera or junior prodigy Alexa Joy Milliam.
Eala, voice trembling: “From a young girl who dreamed of becoming the best tennis player in the world, to this… it’s surreal. Tennis isn’t a game—it’s my soul. I’ll dedicate my life to it, for every kid with a racket and a dream.” Haggerty: “Alexandra’s commitment is historic—her immortality ensures tennis’s forever.”
From Manila Dreams to Global Eternity: Eala’s 2025 Odyssey
Eala’s pact crowns a Cinderella year: Starting No. 147, she soared 97 spots to No. 50 by November 3—highest-ranked Filipina and Southeast Asian ever. Milestones that morphed her from prospect to powerhouse:
- Miami Miracle (March): Wildcard to semis, upsetting three Slam champs (Ostapenko, Keys, Świątek 6-2, 7-5)—first wildcard feat in WTA 1000 history.
- US Open Immortal (August): First Filipina main-draw win (d. Tauson 6-4, 3-6, 6-3)—R2 Bucsa loss, but legacy locked.
- Guadalajara Gold (September): Maiden WTA title (d. Udvardy 1-6, 7-5, 6-3)—PH’s first, WTA 125 No. 1.
- Eastbourne Edge (June): First WTA final (l. Joint 4-6, 6-1, 6-7(10-12))—PH pioneer.
