Organizers of the exhibition match between Filipina tennis star Alex Eala and Indonesia’s Janice Tjen are targeting 50,000 ticket sales for their scheduled showdown at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan on December 8.
More than 20,000 tickets have already been sold for the “Alex Eala Live: Game. Set. Celebrate” event, according to the organizers.
Eala expressed excitement about playing in front of her home crowd and experiencing the support of Filipino fans.
The tennis star also thanked those who have already purchased tickets, saying she looks forward to stepping onto the court at the Philippine Arena and facing Tjen.
Meanwhile, Tatler Group Chairman and CEO Michel Lamuniere said the event aims to bring world-class tennis closer to more Filipinos, particularly young players, and inspire the next generation to pursue their sporting ambitions.
Before the main match between Eala and Tjen, the event will feature junior players and rising professionals from the Philippine Tennis Association, followed by a celebrity match.
