When the World Served Manila

On a warm January morning, the courts of Rizal Memorial Sports Complex begin to tell a new story. From January 26 to 31, 2026, Manila steps into the global tennis spotlight as it hosts its first-ever Women’s Tennis Association tournament—the Philippine Women’s Open. For the Philippines, this is more than a debut; it is a statement that the country is ready to welcome world-class women’s sports on its own terms.

Powering this milestone is Globe Telecom, whose 5G network quietly works behind every serve, rally, and match point. Seamless connectivity supports tournament operations, broadcast quality, and the thousands of digital moments shared by fans, athletes, and officials alike. In today’s sporting landscape, where experience extends far beyond the stadium, reliable connectivity becomes as essential as the court itself.

The timing of the Philippine Women’s Open feels especially meaningful. The rise of Alex Eala has already reshaped how Filipinos see tennis—and themselves. Competing regularly against the world’s best, Eala’s journey has proven that Filipino athletes can belong on the biggest stages. This inaugural tournament builds on that momentum, transforming inspiration into access by bringing elite women’s tennis directly to local fans and aspiring players.

For Globe, supporting the event aligns with a broader commitment to empowerment and progress. By backing women’s sports and investing in platforms that highlight Filipino excellence, the company reinforces its role not just as a connectivity provider, but as an enabler of national pride. Delegates, players, and media benefit from dependable network support, while fans experience the tournament as it happens—whether courtside or through their screens.

The excitement also reaches everyday viewers through Globe Prepaid’s Go5G TURBO50, offering faster and more affordable access to match highlights, live updates, and real-time sharing. It’s a reminder that major sporting moments are no longer confined to venues; they live online, in conversations, and across communities.

Ultimately, the Philippine Women’s Open is about more than tennis. It is a celebration of women’s achievement, youthful ambition, and the Philippines’ growing presence on the global sports map. With Women’s Tennis Association action unfolding in Manila and matches streaming live worldwide, history is not just being played—it is being shared, powered by Globe 5G, serve by serve.
