The 2019 tournament summer is heating up – and that includes TennisTraveller . In addition to the two ATP Challenger tournaments, the Schwaben Open in Augsburg and the Tennis Open Stadtwerke Meerbusch, also a tournament partner of the Borkum Open . This traditional tournament takes place on the East Frisian island of Borkum in the far north, from July 31st to August 10th, 2019. Incredibly, this "spa tournament" was first held back in 1899 – what a history! Christoph Damaske is the tournament director and is leading the tournament for juniors, adults, and seniors for the eighth time this year. What makes the tournament so special? "We have the world's most beautiful players' lounge – Borkum's main beach, just 100 meters from the courts," says Christoph.
The tournament kicks off on July 31, 2019, with the S5 Seniors Tournament . Young tennis players can twice in a row August 5-10, 2019, Junior Open 1 and 2. And the women's and men's adult tournament, with prize money, runs concurrently with the youth tournament from August 5-8, 2019 .
The Borkum Tennis Club's simply brilliant location at the end of Borkum's promenade always attracts a large and interested audience. Furthermore, the beach is just a stone's throw away. A fantastic and varied program of events throughout the week ensures a wonderful atmosphere.
This is the perfect way to combine a holiday and a tennis tournament, and all this on Borkum in the far north; you also get relaxation in the healing climate as an entry bonus!
You can see from last year's tournament videos that Christoph Damaske and his team always come up with something special. Besides the tournament itself, they spontaneously played tennis the "old-fashioned way" on Borkum beach: retro tennis clothes on, a net set up right on Borkum's main beach, and the match could begin with legendary wooden rackets. Tennis is simply possible anytime, anywhere!
Then simply check out the tournament website and register up to three days before the respective tournament starts. Playing in a tournament at your holiday destination – wouldn't that be something?
