All eyes are on Alexandra Eala of the Philippines as she hits the court again in New York City. She aced her first round at the 2026 U.S. Open on Tuesday at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, sporting one of Nike‘s basketball-inspired tennis kits for her walk-on and competition uniform.

The rising tennis star wore the NikeCourt Slam women’s tennis dress in “Old Royal” blue with white lining, retailing for $140. The lightweight look was crafted with stretch fabric and a tailored fit for ease of movement, with the netted mesh material added material contrast to the overall look.
The tennis dress was coordinated with a jacket for Eala’s walk-on, with short sleeves, rounded neckline with a slight collar, and front placket closure. Eala’s Nike bag even incorporated the color scheme of her tennis kit, executing the completely coordinated ensemble.

Eala went on to win her first-round match on Tuesday against Mary Stoiana of the United States. The 2026 U.S. Open marks the first time the 21-year-old has been seeded at the final Grand Slam tournament of the tennis season.
Eala officially signed her sponsorship deal with Nike in 2019 during her junior career. The athlete is a sponsored athlete and global brand ambassador for the footwear and apparel corporation.

Eala joined other tennis stars like defending U.S. Open women’s singles champion Aryna Sabalenka, who debuted her netted Nike tennis kit in her first-round match on Monday.
Since her 2025 breakthrough season, Eala’s sponsorships, partnerships and collaborations have only grown. Along with Nike, she also has deals with Babolat, Globe Telecom and Bank of the Philippines, which is represented with the BPI acronym on her U.S. Open 2026 tennis kit.
