About this deal

A moment I will never forget was meeting Her Majesty at the Royal Command Performance in 1997 with the Spice Girls. I was nervous, but the Queen was courteous, gracious and kind, and I’ll always be grateful for that special memory. The ultimate icon in every way and the epitome of elegance, she will live on in our hearts and minds forever. Kim Jones I think to have someone to look up to is a good first step,” Alex adds. “ Yan lang talaga gusto ko, na makaka-inspire ako sa ibang tao.” You will be focused on yourself going into the week, Gemini, with the full moon in your sign. You may have realisations about what your desires and goals are, or you could be uncovering new interests you never knew you had. You may also be changing up an aspect of your appearance and putting careful thought into your style. As Mercury moves into Capricorn, you may be reflecting on your own behavioural patterns. You might be reading self-help or psychology books – you’re wanting to have intimate conversations with people and get to the root of who someone is. Cancer Horoscope

A hard worker is just among the things that Alex’s coaches describe her. Adrien Vaseux, who has been working with Alex since September of last year, thinks she is a “tiger on court.” How does she feel when people place the future of Philippine tennis on her young shoulders? “I’m happy that they have faith in me. I’m happy that I have such a strong group of supporters. And I don’t like to think of it as pressure. I’m happy that I can give them hope. I’m happy that I can give them something to follow. It makes me more motivated to work.” Linda was over here yesterday, and I was trying to understand what it was about her. I don’t know. What is it about Linda, or what was it from the minute I met her? The first thing we did together was US Vogue. Linda gives blood, literally. She’ll stand on her head; she’ll do this or do that. Besides the fact that she’s a beauty. I mean, there are a lot of beautiful women that don’t photograph and aren’t photogenic and aren’t willing to create with you and do the process. Linda was always willing to do everything – and happily so.” After winning against another Czech, Lucie Havlíčková, at the US Open girls final, she asked if she could speak to the crowd in Tagalog. “ Buong puso ko itong pinaglaban, hindi lang para sa sarili ko, kung hindi para sa kinabukasan ng Pilipinas. So hindi ko lang panalo ito, panalo nating lahat,” Alex says, her voice breaking slightly. I was deeply moved to hear of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s passing. She dedicated her life to her country with great dignity and loyalty, and her remarkable 70-year reign spanned so many generations it is hard for those of us who call the UK home to imagine our lives without her. Although I was unable to collect my OBE from the Palace in person in 2020 due to the pandemic, she remains the reason that I felt so honoured to have received it in the first place. Donatella VersaceShe is particularly succinct when talking about playing for the flag, and is aware of the impact she might have on young Filipinos who might have similar aspirations of not just tennis, but of performing on a world stage.

As with many athletes, family helps ground her. They too provided the first spark that ignited her passion for the sport. For Alex and Miko, it started out as a way for them to bond with their Lolo, the late Bobby Maniego.

Her win in New York and the way she so methodically sliced through the field showed how much she has become stronger, physically and mentally, over the years. “I tried not to think about it a lot. And I tried not to think that I needed to win. I didn’t really have any expectations coming into it. That was what was different from the other years, I played match by match instead of [thinking of] winning the whole thing,” Alex, who turned 17 in May, tells Vogue Philippines. The whole journey of going for a single purpose of winning grand slams, the majors, the pursuit of this in itself is like a huge bonding activity for us,” Mike says. “For example, the milestone win, the US Open. It’s so emotionally charged because it’s not just the moment, it’s that whole journey.” That’s not something Ashley herself had, growing up in Surrey with her older brother and South Indian Tamil parents who’d emigrated to the UK. Raised on Disney and Pixar, she had a performative streak from a young age and was determined to be an actor despite having no industry connections. Her accountant mother and pharmacist father tried to instil a sense of academic discipline but she “failed at so many subjects”. At 16, she left school to attend sixth form at the performing arts institution Redroofs, before going on to ArtsEd drama school to study musical theatre. “It wasn’t right for me and I left after my first year.” She made the decision to move to LA by herself at 17, to pursue acting for real.
