00:00We'll be right back to the world.
00:05Tennis ace Alex Ayala, ngayong laglag na siya sa Philippine Women's Open.
00:10Matapos mapiglo sa quarterfinals kontra kay Camila Osorio ng Columbia kagabi.
00:15Kung ano yan, alamin sa Sentro ng Balita ni Paulo Salamatin.
00:20Tuluyan na nagtapos ang kampanya ni Philippine Tennis.
00:25Saisal Alex Ayala sa WTA 125 Philippine Women's Open event na kung saan...
00:30Nabigo siyang umusad sa quarterfinals match kontra sa kanyang Colombian opponent na si Camila Osorio.
00:35Sa score na 6-4-6-4.
00:40Nang inaasam na WTA titles sa sariling bansa na isnaayala na maging insipid.
00:45Inspirasyon ito para sa tennis sa Pilipinas upang mas lalo pang tumaas ang antas ng...
00:50At magsilbing standard ang Philippine Women's Open sa mga...
00:55Susunod pang tennis tournament sa hinaharap sa naginap na post-match press conference kagabi.
01:00Panawagan ni Ayala na sana'y maging simula ito ng pagbabago sa tennis sa Pilipinas.
01:05Para sa layuning makabuo pa ng mas maraming kampyon balang araw.
01:10Well, I think this is a good stepping stone like I've mentioned before.
01:15Um, I, in my opinion, women's tennis is...
01:20Especially has been overlooked, uh, for a long time.
01:25You know on top of tennis already not being such a popular sport here in the Philippines
01:30I heard the other day that locally there
01:35were only, for men, eight professional tournaments around
01:40in the Philippines and for women only two
01:43so to have
01:45a WTA here would like I said is a great stepping stone and
01:50I think a wake-up call for the people who are able to help
01:55and able to do something about it
01:58I think there's
02:00a lot of room for improvement having like just two
02:05professional tournaments for women tennis players
02:08I think there's a huge margin for improvement
02:10there and you know Filipinos are super hard working
02:15super passionate so I'm sure if we nourish our tennis players
02:20then slowly we can start to build you know more and more champions
02:24yeah
02:25Dandag pa ni Ayala
02:26na higit pa umano sa kahit anong tropeyo
02:28ang maging parte sa
02:30kauna-unahang WTA event sa bansa
02:32at masaksihan ang mga Filipino fans
02:35na nage-enjoy sa panonood
02:37ng isang makasaysayang tennis tournament
02:40I think this tournament you know although it's it's not yet done
02:44I think it's a
02:45been a great success I think
02:47just the turnout of people
02:50you know seeing how how much they've enjoyed hearing the feedback from other players
02:54and
02:55uh
02:56from people in the WTA I think
02:58you know it couldn't have turned out
03:00better
03:01uh
03:02for a first edition
03:03and I'm so happy that I got to be a part
03:05of it and I'm so happy that I was able to see it unfold
03:08sa kabila nito magka
03:10lalong emosyon naman
03:11ang naramdaman ng mga ilang fans
03:13na nanood live
03:14sa quarterfinal
03:15match na idala
03:16kontra kay Osorio
03:18too bad
03:19we all wanted to
03:20watch Alex play in the semis
03:22and in the finals
03:23but
03:24we're still
03:25very thankful because she brought WTA here in the Philippines
03:30definitely upset of course because the
03:32the
03:33you know
03:34person we're all rooting for lost
03:35But still looking forward to the next tournament she'll be in.
03:38We're still rooting for her.
03:40And supporting her in the future.
03:42I was kind of disappointed that she lost.
03:45Because this should be meaningful to her because this is a...
03:50the inaugural tennis tournament.
03:55The first one.
03:57Samantala, hindi pa tapos ang misyon na ito.
04:00Kaya la kung saan balik-trabaho muli ang pinay-netter para sa sunod nitong competition.
04:05na Abu Dhabi Open na nakanaktang simulan ngayong Pebrero.
04:10Matin, para sa atletang Pilipino, para sa Bagong Pilipinas.
04:15Kaya la kung saan balik-trabaho muli ang pinay-netter.
