Building a legacy for Philippine beach tennis
The event aims to create a lasting legacy for beach tennis in the Philippines
The Xpress Beach Tennis Cup transcends the realm of mere competition. It aspires to create a lasting legacy for beach tennis in the Philippines.
Boracay, being the sole Philippine destination hosting national and international tournaments sanctioned by PhilTA, provides a unique platform for local players. This event offers them the chance to compete at a national level and potentially secure a coveted spot on the Philippine National Beach Tennis Team.
The overwhelming success of the first ITF Beach Tennis event in October 2024, which attracted both local and international players, paved the way for Boracay to host multiple legs of the ITF Beach Tennis Tournament in 2025.
This continuous stream of tournaments, including the Xpress Beach Tennis Cup, the Boracay Beach Games in March 2024, and the Love Boracay Beach Tennis Open Tournament in April 2024, provides ample opportunities for players to showcase their skills and climb the ranks.
