Ipinanganak si Alexandra “Alex” Maniego Eala noong May 23, 2005 sa Quezon City. Hawak niya ngayon ang titulong Australian Open girls’ doubles at kasalukuyang rank 2 sa ITF junior noong October 6, 2020 lamang.
Sa murang edad nito, nakitaan na siya ng potensyal sa larong Tennis. Ang nakakamangha pa ay dahil ang nanay nitong si Rizza ay isang manlalaro rin! Siya ay may titulong 1985 Southeast Asian Games bronze medalist sa 100-meter backstroke. Nasa dugo na ni 15-year-old na si Alex ang pagiging manlalaro. Pamangkin siya ng former PBA commissioner na si Noli Eala habang ang nakatatandang kapatid nitong si Michael ay naglalaro rin ng Tennis sa Penn State University.
