Filipino teenager Ella's dark horse journey at the 2025 Miami tennis tournament is about to continue, and her boyfriend is also worth the trip

After winning the retirement ceremony and reaching the top 8 of the women's singles, the 19-year-old Filipino player Ella has a dark horse journey in the 2025 Miami Tennis Championships. Ella continued to write the history of the Philippines, and Ella (ranked 140 in the world), who entered the tournament with a wild card, was able to qualify bloodlessly on the 24th local time due to the injury of her women's singles top 16 opponent and Spain's No. 10 seed Badosa. Ella became the first Filipino player to reach the quarterfinals of a WTA 1000 tournament, continuing to write a new chapter in the country's professional tennis history.

Ella made it to the Women's Singles round of 16 at the Miami Tennis Championships, becoming the first Filipino player in history to reach the quarterfinals of the WTA1000

In the next women's singles quarterfinals, Ella will once again challenge the Grand Slam champion Swiatek who won Poland's four-time French Open. Swiatek, who is also the 2022 Miami Women's Singles champion and the second seed at the tournament, defeated Ukraine's Svitolina 7-6(5), 6-3 in the round of 16.

Ella had previously won Latvia's former French Open champion Ostapenko in the second round in Miami and the host country's new Australian Open champion and fifth seed Keith (round of 16).
