What Vera Files found
Neither Alex Eala's camp nor Babolat, a French sports equipment company, has released any statement about the gifting of a sports car to the tennis star. The post failed to give proof that the event actually happened, and its story carried glaring factual inaccuracies.
Their words, from the summary they publish with the rating.
In short
This claim spread on social media around 28 October 2025. Vera Files (Philippines) looked into it and published its finding on 25 November 2025, 28 days later. Its rating was “Fake”.
