Colombia’s Osorio revels in fervent PH Women’s Open atmosphere: ‘I feel like I’m home’

MANILA, Philippines – Colombia’s Camila Osorio did not mind the cheers even if they were not for her as she battled home hero Alex Eala in the quarterfinals of the Philippine Women’s Open.

If anything, they reminded Osorio of home.

Osorio reveled in the fervent atmosphere of the country’s first-ever hosting of a WTA 125 event after giving Eala the boot with a resounding 6-4, 6-4 win at the Rizal Memorial Tennis Center on Thursday, January 29, to advance to the semifinals. 

“We’re very passionate when it comes to supporting our people. I love to play back home. I love to play in Colombia because the energy is crazy. I just really enjoy it. And that’s why I think it’s very similar to this, that’s why I feel it’s very nice to see you guys support Alex,” said Osorio.  

“I hope I also can go back to Colombia and play in front of my people because I enjoy it. I got my family, my friends. Everyone is there. It’s nice. It’s just so similar, like everything. You go outside and you guys are always like friendly.”

“It’s really close, like in Colombia. I feel like I’m home.” 

Osorio dashed Filipinos’ hopes of seeing an Eala coronation at home as the world No. 84 Colombian battled back from 2-3 deficits in both the first and second sets to arrange a final four date with Argentina’s Solana Sierra. 

Having won all of her three WTA Tour crowns at home in the Copa Colsanitas, Osorio seeks to get the job done on foreign soil. 

“It would be really nice if I can get a title outside of Colombia,” said Osorio. 

A first-timer in the country, Osorio only had good things to say about the staging of the Philippine Women’s Open, even going as far as guaranteeing her return in the next editions. 

“I feel very welcome here. Since the first day you get here and they’re like, ‘Whatever you need, you can get,’ basically. You just get here and you feel very welcome, very warm, and everything. The facility is very nice. The hotel is very nice. The food is also unreal,” said Osorio. 

“It’s like a bigger tournament, if I’m being honest. I could come here and say lies, but I’m being completely honest with you. So, it’s very nice,” she added. “If they can make it a bigger tournament, I will come 100%.” – Rappler.com
