The clay court season is slowly but surely drawing to a close, and as always, we're incredibly curious! Where did you spend your tennis holidays over the past few months? We want to know, because we're sure to get lots of recommendations from you that are extremely valuable for our TennisTraveller community. And as you know us, there's a little reward for your recommendations. It's not a small reward, though, because we'll select one Travelscout from all the recommendations for the wonderful Sonnenhof tennis hotel in Lam in the Bavarian Forest . There, you and a friend can look forward to a short break with tennis, plenty of wellness, and culinary highlights. On top of that, you'll also receive a spacious YONEX travel bag , perfect for packing for any tennis holiday!
So simply tell us by Sunday, October 15, 2023 , where you spent a fantastic tennis holiday in recent months. And presto, you'll be entered into the draw and, with a little luck, could soon be in "heaven" in the Bavarian Forest!
In part two of our padel special, we're focusing on stroke technique and tactics . For those who don't yet know what a Salida, Contra Pared, x3, or Bandeja is, our padel expert Yannik Mann shed some light on the subject. From the serve to groundstrokes, the lob, drop shot, or overhead smash – for all the different padel strokes and variations, we have a short video alongside the explanation. This way, you can see how each stroke works and is played. And for the padel experts among you – or those who aspire to be – Yannik has an absolutely invaluable tactical tip . It's not just about brute force; smart padel is key. And that's quite different from tennis in many ways. That's why it's so important to approach the game correctly, both technically and tactically.
Enjoy our second part! After this, everyone should know that a Chiquita in the context of paddling doesn't refer to a banana!

We're thrilled to have Yannik, one of the leading padel experts, on board for our special event. Yannik will introduce you to the world of padel, answer all your padel questions, and warns you now: it's highly addictive! So let's get started!

Answer our competition question by August 21, 2023 and you'll be entered into the draw.
High. Pure Indulgence. These three words perfectly describe the Interalpen-Hotel Tyrol on the Seefeld plateau. And rightly so, as I discovered during my short break. These three words perfectly capture what the hotel stands for and what awaits you there. Each word applies to so much in and around this 5-star superior luxury hotel, situated at an altitude of 1,300 meters. The "high" refers not only to the location, the "indulgence" not only to the culinary experiences, and the "pure" to the straightforwardness and focus on the essentials.
I would love to take you with me on my travelogue up to the "Interalpen" and share how my daughter and I experienced our short stay at the hotel.
Of course, TennisTraveller also be part of the second edition of the METZINGEN OPEN from July 23rd to 30th, 2023.
