Under the motto “Tennis ON FIRE” we were guests at the Hotel zum Mohren in Reutte in Tyrol from November 14th to 17th, 2024. Of course, the participants were on fire during the three-day tennis training with Andreas Gerstgrasser and I's Pro Tennis School. It was particularly hot during the cardio tennis, which made everyone sweat profusely and ensured a good atmosphere, but also sore muscles. But that's not all: we also put together a wonderful, "hot" supporting program away from the tennis court. The camp was timed so that it coincided with one of the absolute event highlights in Reutte. At the opening of "Reutte on Ice" rocked with Beatrice Egli and various DJs, at Ehrenberg Castle we immersed ourselves in the world of lights of the LuMagica and were able to enjoy a gourmet menu with wine accompaniment in the hotel. All in all, once again a very special exclusive camp that all participants really enjoyed. And like in the previous exclusive camps, we were a wonderful group, had a lot to talk about and laugh about - we were almost always "ON FIRE".
