“My first time here in Grenoble, France where I will be playing my second ITF Pro 25k Tournament,” Eala posted on her Facebook page before her campaign in France started.

To give her motivation, fans started to comment on her post.

“Lord will guide you in your journey, In Jesus name we pray….” Tristan Joseph Arlos commented.
