Tennis in Switzerland

Summary of Tennis experiences in Switzerland in the last five years

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.
