Manila, Philippines (July 17, 2026) — Ayala Malls Manila Bay is serving up new opportunities for Filipinos to discover and embrace tennis with the launch of Tennis Homecourt at Ayala Malls Manila Bay, a regulation-standard tennis court developed in partnership with leading Philippines-based tennis academy Austennis, set to open later this year. The announcement was made during the Globe Homecourt event at Glorietta, celebrating Alex Eala’s achievements in tennis and inspiring more Filipinos to pick up a racket and get into the sport.
“Our hope is that Tennis Homecourt encourages even more people to give the sport a try — to build confidence, make new friends, and discover a lasting love for the game,” says Mariana Zobel de Ayala, Ayala Land Senior Vice President and Head of Leasing and Hospitality. “At Ayala Malls, we’re proud to build spaces where people gather around shared loves – across all rackets, sports, and passions.”
Ayala Malls Manila Bay is home to three permanent Homecourt facilities: Table Tennis Homecourt, Taekwondo Homecourt, and the Sports Center that accommodates multiple sports – from basketball, chess, pickleball, and fencing to a growing line-up of emerging sports.
Since its launch in 2023, Homecourt transformed 7,000 square meters of Ayala Malls Manila Bay into community-driven sports venues, hosting over 450 daily workshops, weekend tournaments, and mall-led programs, as well as national and international sporting events such as FIBA and UAAP tournaments, Batang Pinoy and Philippine National Games, ASEAN Taekwondo Championships, and South East Asian Fencing Championships.
With the addition of Tennis Homecourt, Ayala Malls Manila Bay continues to redefine the mall experience, creating spaces where communities can connect, passions come alive, and talents thrive – empowering people of all ages and skill levels to find their own home court.
