00:00Step by step, before you access it, but what you imagined, you suddenly access it.
00:30The organizers usually give these wildcards or places for different reasons.
00:54One is to give chances to a potential tennis superstar like Alex Ayala to compete at a
01:02very high level.
01:03That's one.
01:04Another reason may also be because they want to promote diversity and inclusion in tournaments.
01:53She has really broken barriers because it's the first time we've had a household global
03:01tournament.
03:02She's really ready to win.
03:03She said in her interviews that no one came to the tournament to lose and I think that's
03:22the mentality that brought her this far to the tournament and she has really improved
03:29in so many ways.
04:00Grand Slam tournaments, that one is very highly televised, the prize money is huge and it's
04:15one of the highest in collecting ranking points.
05:15It's not only like for the fame and all that, but also financially, which is very important.
05:31So more people will actually be coming to the Philippines, hopefully to stage sports
05:36events, stage sports clinics, and even hold international tournaments, quite invitational.
05:42And we won't have to pay to go to other countries, which is very helpful to our young athletes
05:51and for the sports ecosystem.
05:54Magiging inspirasyon talaga si Alex, na it will inspire both the kids and the parents
06:12din na kaya pala ng Pilipino.
06:24It really is a combination of different industries, not only in sports, pero kailangan may tulong
06:42din tayo sa real estate, may tulong din tayo sa government, and in order to actually build
06:51sustainable communities that are geared for Filipinos to not only excel in sports, but
06:59also to enjoy sports.
07:22She is someone who is grateful for her family, for her coaches.
07:28She knows who her support system is.
07:31So very good combination talaga ng support system and guidance ni Alex in order for her
07:44to really become successful, pero in the process that also takes a lot of patience and also
07:51a lot of investment din.
