When asked about the pressure of representing the Philippines on the international stage, Alex shared how she has learned to embrace high-pressure situations as part of being a competitive athlete.
"It definitely comes with pressure. But the life of a competitive athlete comes with pressure and pressure is a privilege and I have never been able to relate something more and now when I face high pressure situations, I’m able to take it in my stride and especially with the experience I've been gaining this year, I look forward to being in those situations. So, this US Open has just been so great."
Alex recently competed at the US Open, where she bowed out following a hard-fought match against familiar opponent American player Iva Jovic, 7-5, 3-6, 7-5.
She is set to return to action at the WTA 500 Singapore Open, which will run from September 21 to 27.
