Elevating Boracay’s Beach Tennis Scene
Boracay has long been a hub for beach sports enthusiasts, but with the 1st Xpress Beach Tennis Cup, the island is taking things to a whole new level. Hosting the International Tennis Federation (ITF) Beach Tennis Tournament is a monumental milestone for the Philippines. Following the resounding success of the ITF event held last October 2024, Boracay has cemented its reputation as a premier destination for international beach tennis competitions. And this year, the Xpress Beach Tennis Cup will be a star-studded addition to the calendar!
With 6 tournament legs scheduled for 2025, including the Xpress Beach Tennis Cup, this event will feature men’s and women’s doubles matches that will showcase both local and international talent. Countries like Philippines, Japan, Australia, Thailand, and Italy will compete on the pristine sands of White House Beach Resort, Station 1 – making it a truly international sporting spectacle.

A Legacy of Beach Tennis Excellence
The Xpress Beach Tennis Cup isn’t just about the game – it’s about creating a lasting legacy for Beach Tennis in the Philippines. With Boracay being the only destination in the country that hosts national and international tournaments sanctioned by the Philippine Tennis Association (PhilTA), the event provides local players with the unique opportunity to compete at a national level, with the potential of earning a spot on the Philippine National Beach Tennis Team.
