Besides tennis hotels and camp organizers, I'm always interested in the people who work in these hotels or camps, or who are involved in the vast and diverse world of tennis in various ways. I always find it incredibly fascinating to hear how they got their businesses, what motivates them, and where they want to go! So, to be honest, I was really looking forward to my interview with Boris Krumm . Boris is a tennis legend and is even called a "tennis rocker" by some. In our interview, Boris gives us a glimpse behind the scenes and sheds some light on the "mystery": who is actually behind Bidi Badu, Toolz, Balls Unlimited , and other well-known brands? All these brands belong to Spodeco GmbH , where Boris is the managing director and owner. In the interview, which you can follow in both text and video formats, he also reveals, for example, what the collaboration with the retail giant Tennis-Point looks like and where he himself prefers to play. It's an extremely relaxed and enjoyable conversation that you'll certainly find entertaining!
And a generous, exclusive TennisTraveller discount of 22 percent awaits all those who want to order something colorful and cool from the Bidi Badu shop.
For us TennisTraveller so important , yet most neglect them. It's only when wrist problems arise or tennis elbow sets in that the hand and forearm muscles are addressed. We've tested the new Reflexit forearm trainer and want to introduce it to you today. It truly delivers significant results in strengthening forearm muscles and improving wrist mobility! This will give you more strength and mobility and reduce your risk of injury. In this article, you'll learn what the Reflexit is all about, how it works, how it can help you, how it was developed, and the company behind it. In addition to an in-depth interview with Adrian Göldner, one of the two founders from Bonn, there's also my own personal experience – after all, you have to test things yourself before presenting and recommending them!
So that you can gain more punching power with better forearm muscles!

In mid-July, the TennisTraveller set off for Leverkusen on several missions: the Keystone Sports College Tennis Showcase . My 16-year-old son, Tom, who plans to attend college next year, was also on board the TennisTraveller car and didn't want to miss the showcase. I was scheduled to speak on Friday afternoon in a special "parents' session," where I shared my experiences with Mia's college onboarding. And last but not least, I was eager to finally meet and speak with my partners at Keystone Sports. Unfortunately, Tom and I were only able to attend two days of the showcase, as an important league match on Saturday and a school trip on Sunday forced us to return home early. However, our wildcard winner, Silas, participated in the entire showcase from Friday to Sunday, allowing you, our readers, to experience it all firsthand. To anyone interested in a scholarship at a US college, let me say in advance: the Showcase is a fantastic event!

Like a lid on a pot – that's how perfectly our travel scout Matz fit into the padel camp with Yannik Mann at the end of June at ROBINSON SARIGERME PARK in Turkey. After our initial conversation, it was clear to me that we'd once again struck gold with our travel scout. Matz, a huge padel fan and well-traveled TennisTraveller was the ideal person ROBINSON SARIGERME PARK and the 5-day padel camp with padel expert Yannik Mann. I had hoped that our padel expert Yannik and Matz would become the "dream padel doubles team" during the week. But the fact that the chemistry with the coaching team and the other camp participants, including none other than beach volleyball Olympic champion Julius Brink, was so great off the padel courts was a real treat! The boys not only had a blast playing padel together that week, but also bonded over many other things. But now it's best if you read for yourselves how Matz experienced his padel week. Thanks Matz for your great feedback and have lots more fun on the padel and tennis courts of this universe!
