The fundraiser had been launched before Oliynykova faced Eala at the US Open, with the campaign seeking to raise money for generators for Ukraine.
According to screenshots shared in the post, the fundraising target was reached within hours after Filipino fans began responding to Oliynykova’s appeal.
“Filipino fans responded overwhelmingly and the goal was exceeded in just a few hours,” the post said.
The campaign’s message asked supporters to help provide generators amid ongoing needs in Ukraine, particularly for communities affected by power disruptions.
Oliynykova also appeared to acknowledge the support from those who contributed, with the shared post thanking donors.
The fundraising effort came after Eala defeated Oliynykova, 6-1, 6-4, to advance to the third round of the US Open for the first time.
