Nike is honoring rising tennis star Alexandra Eala with her very own T-shirt, inspired by her Filipino heritage.

Fresh off her maiden WTA 500 title at the Washington Open, and a third-round appearance at the recent U.S. Open, the 21-year-old’s name adorns the back of this unisex tee, surrounded by a sampaguita motif, paying homage to the official national flower of the Philippines.
