We love to take a look behind the scenes and ask questions personally. This was the case at one of our exclusive tennis hotels, the Aphrodite Hills Resort in Cyprus . I had the opportunity Margarete Dunst, the resort's Commercial Manager, a few questions that will surely give you an even better understanding of the resort than our detailed hotel description. In this interview, you'll learn why the Aphrodite Hills Resort is an ideal tennis holiday destination, especially for tennis groups and teams, which sports and leisure activities Margarete recommends, and which airports offer easy access to Cyprus, including flight times and details. So nothing stands in the way of your divine tennis holiday! Enjoy this behind-the-scenes look!
Those who follow our social media channels may already know: TennisTraveller owner Susanne is embarking on a journey herself, and not to one of the many beautiful TennisTraveller hotels, but on the Road to Manavgat , a tennis trip back to the competitive stage. And this after a 20-year hiatus from tournament tennis. The older, the bolder, one might say. I would rather say: even at over 50, there are still sporting challenges to be had! The first major challenge is coming up at the end of March in Manavgat, Turkey. The 23rd International Wilson Masters Open take place at the Ali Bey Club Manavgat, for which I registered at the end of last year. At the MT1000 ITF Seniors tournament, I will be competing in the Women's Singles W50 and the Mixed Doubles. But of course, the tournament isn't the only challenge awaiting me. After such a long break from tournaments and training, there are challenges almost every day, both on and off the tennis court, some small, some bigger. Over the coming weeks, I'd like to take you along on my very personal Road to Manavgat. I'll share everything that occupies my mind, what I enjoy, and yes, even what frustrates me. Because I'm sure some of you are curious why someone in their early fifties would want to get back into competitive tennis so seriously. That's what I want to talk about first. Let the journey begin!
Aldiana Club Ampflwang as part of a FAM trip . While I'm already familiar with many of our TennisTraveller underwent extensive renovations last year , including the addition of a new padel court and pickleball court , I was incredibly excited for my short stay. And I wasn't disappointed, as the club offers a wide range of activities for tennis players, racket sports enthusiasts, outdoor sports lovers, nature lovers, and wellness aficionados. You can find out exactly what you can expect at the club, both in terms of sports and, of course, culinary delights, in my personal travel report .
Come along with me to the Hausruck Forest!
In our new section "TRIPLE T - TennisTraveller Tests," we'll be regularly testing new products from Tennis Warehouse Europe, our new partner. From rackets and shoes to bags, strings, and tennis apparel. We're kicking things off today with the K-Swiss Express Light 3 , a lightweight women's indoor tennis shoe with a carpet sole, ideal for recreational and amateur players who want a light, comfortable feel and good grip on carpet. The shoe's vibrant color scheme immediately caught my eye as soon as I unpacked it. Finally, a tennis shoe that isn't so boring – finally, something colorful and eye-catching in chic black, mint, and pink! While design is important, what matters most is how the shoe performs on the court. I tested the shoe for you based on various criteria. And of course, you can look forward to my personal review of the shoe! So, let's get started!

"GIVE WASTE A SECOND SERVE" – that's the Balls Unlimited . Tennis balls have played a central role in this Bavarian family business since its founding in 2006, as the company produces exclusively tennis balls. These are manufactured either to order or under their own Balls Unlimited brand. With the arrival of the two sons, Tobias and Thilo, in 2023, the company has placed particular emphasis on sustainability. This led to the creation of their first sustainable tennis ball: the Code Planet . Forty percent of the ball's core is made from recycled tires, which not only "upcycles" the tires themselves but also reduces the overall use of plantation rubber. I had the opportunity Tobias Papenfuhs , one of the three managing directors, and wanted to know all about him: how the idea for the Code Planet came about, the challenges involved in its development, market launch, and successful ITF certification, and much more. And of course, Tobias also shared his favorite tennis vacation destination. All that remains for me to say is: FIRST SERVE, Tobias!
