Alex Eala Sampaguita Hair Tie Nike US open 2025

<p>Alex Eala’s historic win at the US Open may be about power and precision but it also came with a small but meaningful detail that made her victory even more special. Tied neatly into her hair was her now-signature accessory: the ‘sampaguita&#x27; hair tie.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17561975686403.png" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>The piece, created for her by Nike ahead of Wimbledon, has quickly become her quiet lucky charm. The sampaguita, the Philippines’ national flower, symbolizes strength, simplicity, and resilience—all traits Alex carried into the match. Nike’s handwritten note that came with it back in July put it best: “Every dream begins as a seed. ‘Kung may tinanim, may aanihin.’” </p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17561975882964.png" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>At her recent US Open match, the flower tie added a touch of home to her look. Against the backdrop of her fiery red Nike kit, the delicate white bloom stood out as she battled on one of tennis’s biggest stages. </p><p>Down 1–5 in the third set against world No. 14 Clara Tauson, Alex clawed her way back to win 6–3, 2–6, 7–6 (13–11). When she fell to the court in tears, the sampaguita was still there. Can this be her new luck charm? </p><p>Now, the hair tie goes beyond just an accessory, now traversing into a signature. For fans and for Alex, it’s also become part of her story: a lucky charm that carries the pride of a nation every time she steps on court.</p><div><br/></div><div><em>Photos from @alex.eala</em></div>
