Game, Set, Longevity: Why &you Is Betting on Tennis
&you stepped onto the courts at CSA Bulacan on July 25, 2026, joining a community of around 200 tennis players competing across levels D through A. The tournament gave the brand an opportunity to connect with the local tennis community while reinforcing its commitment to supporting Filipinos beyond online doctor consultations.
With players ranging from beginners developing their game to seasoned competitors, the event reflected the diversity of today's active lifestyle. For &you, that mix was meaningful. It was a chance to engage with people who already see movement, sport, and community as essential parts of their overall health, while showing that wellness extends beyond the clinic and into everyday life.
Why Tennis & Why Now
Locally, tennis is having a moment. With the rise of Alex Eala, now the highest-ranked Filipino in WTA Tour history, more Filipinos are picking up a racket for the first time, and the sport has become one of the easiest to fall in love with as a beginner.
Regular movement is one of the most reliable ways to add years to your life. Studies link physical activity to a lower risk of heart disease, several cancers, Type 2 diabetes, dementia, and depression. Health guidelines point to about 150 minutes of moderate activity a week, plus two days of strength work, and research shows the payoff starts early. One study found that even four to five minutes of vigorous movement a day was tied to meaningful longevity benefits. As researchers like to put it, some is good and more is better.
How Tennis Is Tied Up With Longevity
Tennis is a full-body workout that trains balance and quick changes of direction, which helps protect against falls, and regular play can support bone strength. Its bursts of effort and short recoveries work a little like interval training. It is also cognitively demanding and, by design, social. You need only one partner, it is relatively gentle on the body, and people tend to keep playing well into later life. All of that was on display at CSA Bulacan. The mixed doubles format paired players of different levels, turning nearly every match into a mix of real competition and shared laughs.
New pairs found their rhythm, and families gathered courtside. “Tennis is proof that caring for your health can feel like play,” said Nona, PR and Relations Manager at &you. “The research on longevity is remarkable, but seeing over 200 people play tennis, thinking, and connecting for hours. That is the kind of wellness we want more Filipinos to enjoy.” The event is part &you efforts to reach communities where health habits are already being practiced, in addition to speaking to patients through digital channels.
How &you Plans To Show Up
For &you, the tournament reflects a simple but meaningful belief: good health isn't something reserved for one health decision, it is built through the everyday moments. Whether it's playing a match, picking up a racket for the first time, joining a run club, or connecting with others through sport, movement becomes more meaningful when it's shared.
This partnership is part of &you's commitment to putting wellness first beyond the tournament, the brand will continue creating spaces where people can move, connect, and build healthier habits together, on the court and beyond. &you plans to keep showing up in spaces like these as it grows its footprint across the Philippines. More updates from the &you Newsroom will follow as further community activities are confirmed.
