This photo taken on August 7, 2026, shows children taking part in a training session at Alabang Tennis Academy in Muntinlupa, Metro Manila. On a Manila court made of crushed seashells, an earnest four-year-old sends a forehand sailing wide - one of dozens of kids aiming to follow in the footsteps of the Philippine's first homegrown tennis sensation, Alex Eala.
