Tennis in Switzerland

Sun, 02 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT

Tennis, like any other sport or activity in Switzerland is a community affair and often also a costly affair. When someone asks me "You are in Switzerland. Why aren't you skiing?" my standard response with a smile would be "I have one expensive hobby already (Tennis). Do not need another one!". To play Tennis regularly, you either need to be active in a sports club or a group or on an app (like GotCourts) which over the years will eventually make you part of a community.

I'm lucky to be part of multiple Tennis communities in Switzerland, of which two of them already planned a farewell party for me, which of course is a day out on the Tennis courts followed by a BBQ feast. I do not know how my Tennis life in India will be later this year, but Switzerland certainly set the standards very high, and I can say the standards are even higher than the USA. In Switzerland, everything works as expected.

Today, I got to play Tennis with a friend at TC Ettenfeld, the club where I probably played the most Tennis in the last three years. Tennisanlage Hardhof, Frauental, Eichrain, Grindel, Urdorf, Uetikon, Zug, Baar, Allmend and Ageri were the other venues I played Tennis at. I will always be grateful for Tennis community in Switzerland keeping me mentally and physically healthy.

I'm 37 and will turn 38 this month. While I have been more or less a seeker so far in my life, I now strongly feel I have something to offer to those who seek, and this daily authentic journal is one of the means I chose to express myself. I founded A10city envisioning a platform that showcases authentic content, brings authentic people together and eventually becomes a place for everything authentic. I spent significant parts of my life living in the largest democracy 🇮🇳, the powerful democracy 🇺🇸 and the democracy that actually works 🇨🇭. Over the years, I have met numerous people, travelled across the Northern Hemisphere from the extreme west to the far east. One thing I have lacked is a sense of belonging, and I always fantasized the idea of moving back to India in the last 14 years of living abroad. I am finally acting on my decision to move back to India this year to start a life where I intend to give more than I take from this world.

When I moved to Switzerland in 2021, I visited Cafe Bar Odeon where the likes Albert Einstein and Herman Hesse have spent their time. Today is the Swiss National Day and I went to Cafe Bar Odeon to reminisce about the past five years in Switzerland. This beautiful country provided me a stable platform to explore my identity, helped improve my health and fitness, and I got better at my favourite sport Tennis. What I am truly grateful for is that Switzerland helped me attain financial stability, which is allowing me to think, work and act on things that actually matter to me. I am grateful for everything and everyone in my life who enabled me to experience this very day, which marks the beginning of my daily journaling experiment.
