Alex Eala will have just a day to rest and recover before she plunges back into action on Tuesday at 5pm, Philippine time in the opening round of the the 2026 Queen's Club Championships (also known as the HSBC Championships).

She will be facing world no. 64 and former world no. 22 Shuai Zhang of China. A win over the 37-year-old Chinese could set her up for a potential second round clash with her friend, 6th seed Iva Jovic of the United States.

Rhiane Meshelle Perez was named MVP of the FIBA Womenโ€™s U18 Asia Cup SEABA Qualifiers. The UST Junior Growling Tigress averaged 11.75 points and 5.75 rebounds in four games.

In their first game versus Vietnam, Perez topscored for Gilas with 16 points. Against Thailand, the Iloilo native was a pillar of strength, hauling down 10 rebounds and blocking 3 shots.

Perez, though, had more to show. In the last game against fellow unbeaten team Indonesia, she exploded for 18 points and grabbed 5 rebounds while dishing out 4 assists.
