"Tennis, Bike & More" – that was the motto of our TennisTraveller exclusive camp from September 24th to 28th, 2025, at the Brennseehof Tennis Hotel in Carinthia. And of course, the five days of camp were packed with plenty of tennis, a fantastic mountain bike tour, and lots of "more." A variety of side events were on the program, such as the fun asphalt curling, the moonlight sauna, and a culinary night with a gala dinner. Our camp participants, who traveled from four different countries, also experienced that extra something special at the Brennseehof Hotel : whether through various activities or in the beautiful spa area. And as in previous exclusive camps, we were a wonderful group, with lots to talk about and laugh about. And, of course, we also trained a lot on the tennis court. You can read all about the well-planned program and what we experienced during the five days of camp in my travel report here. The excellent feedback from participants once again makes Brennseehof, the Krainer sports school with coach Petar, and of course myself especially happy!

On September 7, 2025, Jannik Sinner lost the US Open final to Carlos Alcaraz, and surprisingly decisively. In the subsequent victory ceremony, Jannik Sinner once again demonstrated true class. He showed why he is one of the new tennis giants. On the one hand, in this bitter defeat, he displayed fairness and the utmost respect for his opponent; on the other hand, he was already mentally analyzing the loss to see how he could improve himself and his game. The guy is ambitious to the core, constantly striving to learn and improve. All of this, combined with the down-to-earth attitude instilled in him by his upbringing, makes him an exceptional athlete. Much of this can be understood even better after reading the book "Sinner - The Road to World Stardom" by authors Enzo Anderloni, Michelangelo Dell'Edera, and Alessandro Mastroluca. This book is a biography of a special kind : it delves deep into the player's early days in the sport and follows the South Tyrolean through various stages of his still young career. And it reveals what Nadal saw in him from the very beginning: "He has everything it takes to be one of the best players of the new generation." We'll introduce the book to you in more detail – enjoy!
