Cabrera, ranked 141 in the world, was born to Filipino parents in Townsville, Australia and has been competing in the WTA Tour since 2016.
"I have been following her progress, I think she's an amazing young player, and she's definitely going to do some damage when she plays more and more matches on the tour," said the 23-year-old Cabrera, who traces her roots to Basilan through her mother and Angeles City through her father. "I think she's already on an amazing track. Being able to train at Rafa Nadal's academy, I'm sure she's getting amazing help there," said Cabrera. "She's already ranked 700 and she's only 15. She can only really go up from here."
"Hopefully one day, we'll get to play doubles together or something like that, and kind of showcase the Filipinos and kind of what we bring to the table," she said."I think sometimes, people expect -- just because you're doing well now -- that you're meant to hit every single milestone, and be Top 50 and win a Grand Slam, or whatever it is," said Cabrera.
