The book title alone, "Are You Still Playing Real Tennis or Are You Already Winning Something?", piqued my curiosity. When I then read the subtitle of Heinz Schwarz's debut work, "A Theory of Relativity on the Tennis-Teaching Joke of 'Real Tennis'," there was only one thing to do: open the book and start reading. And that's exactly what I did during my summer vacation on the beach, without a single break. The 132 pages that the Austrian-born, now Bavarian-based tennis coach has written about the sense or nonsense of "real tennis" are truly entertaining. The author rather rebelliously questions the teaching methods of many of his colleagues who train the average tennis player. The book explores why and how "average tennis players" should be trained to ultimately get the most out of them, or at least approach their full potential. And he does so in a way that often made me smile under the Corsican sun!
We met and fell in love on the tennis court, and have now been married for 20 years. That was reason enough for me to surprise my husband with a short trip for our "porcelain wedding anniversary ." It had to be something really special. Something that incorporated our shared hobby of tennis and also fulfilled many of our other vacation wishes in terms of active recreation, wellness, and culinary delights. And so, my choice quickly fell on the Posthotel Achenkirch on Lake Achensee in Tyrol. Because, of course, tennis still plays an important role today; it's the best hobby for both of us and now also for our three children. You can read about how our stay at the Posthotel Achenkirch turned into an unforgettable wedding getaway in our very special Travelscout report .

Summer, sun, beach... and no tennis court nearby? No problem, because we have a great alternative for you that can be played in the garden, at a lake, or on a sandy beach. Frescobol – the trendy beach ball game from Brazil. And with the young startup TWO46, this fun trend is coming to Europe. These guys produce Frescobol rackets sustainably and handcraft them – built to last.
We took a look at the rackets, tested them, and interviewed the founders. And let me tell you, I've fallen head over heels for these rackets – as a sport and fun device, they're incredibly enjoyable, and the look, feel, and feel of the game are absolutely fantastic! Because of this, we're giving away three TWO46 Frescobol sets until August 7, 2022. So you can have a blast on vacation, even without a tennis court, and keep that touch!
Preparations for the Rhein Asset Open, the ATP Challenger tournament on the Rhine and Ruhr rivers from August 7th to 14th, 2022 at the TeReMeer in Meerbusch, are in full swing.

While the fields of recent years have always been strong, a very special player has now announced his participation in the Rhein Asset Open in Meerbusch. Jan-Lennart Struff, the 32-year-old Davis Cup star and long-time Germany's number two behind Alexander Zverev, has officially registered and is one of the highlights of the tournament, which will be held in Meerbusch for the tenth time this year.
We are also very much looking forward to the upcoming tournament, especially since we are a proud tournament partner, just like in previous years !
A matter close to my heart is the tournament sponsorship of the METZINGEN OPEN, the ITF tournament in the $15,000 category, which will take place from July 17-24, 2022 in my "old" tennis club, TC Metzingen.

During the tournament, we are looking for one travel scoutwho, along with a guest, at the end of September . This includes participation in a tennis camp and the ultimate all-inclusive experience by ROBINSON, where no culinary desires will go unfulfilled.

Unforgettable tennis lessons: The Sani Resort on the Greek peninsula of Chalkidiki stands for unique holiday experiences and spectacular special features, which the resort's own Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre will once again make possible this summer.
Toni Nadal, longtime coach and uncle of tennis legend Rafa Nadal, visited the hotel earlier this month to give a high -profile coaching session to the tennis students. Numerous hotel guests had the opportunity to train with the affable Spanish coaching legend. Among the tennis guests was none other than Belgian football star Eden Hazard , currently playing for Real Madrid. Eden was thrilled with the tennis training from "Uncle Toni." Even after the session, the two got along famously, engaging in lively conversations about tennis and football.

I'll also share my own experience with it, because you have to test things yourself before recommending them!
And as you've come to expect from us, we're giving away a total of three LAUFMAUS sets until July 10, 2022.Maybe you'll even become a speed demon on the court!
"Mens sana in corpore sano est" – a healthy mind in a healthy body. While this generally applies to everyone, it holds special significance for us tennis players. We tennis players face a number of different demands. We're expected to be athletic and agile, strong and powerful, mentally resilient, and highly focused. Quite a lot to ask all at once, isn't it? Especially when we're under a lot of pressure in our professional and family lives, it can be really difficult to maintain a healthy mind at times. That's why it's so essential that we give ourselves time and space to regenerate . This allows us to replenish our energy reserves, be more successful on the tennis court, and have more energy overall. We think it's simply wonderful that some of our TennisTravellerhotels, such as the Andreus Resorts in the Passeier Valley in South Tyrol, offer fantastic special weeks to recharge your mind and, consequently, your body. Take a look!
Great tennis before the heavy rain. The singles final of the first Saturn Oil Open was moved forward an hour to 1 p.m. due to the critical weather forecast. And that was exactly the right decision, because the heavy rain started immediately after the atmospheric awards ceremony. Before that, qualifier Lukas Klein (SVK) had set his sights on his first ATP title with an incredibly strong performance against the favored Belgian tennis hopeful Zizou Bergs.
