Am Sonntag, 29. Juni 2025, trifft sich die Schweizer Racketlon-Elite im Vitis Schlieren zum alljährlichen Interclub. Der beliebte Teamwettkampf verspricht erneut packende Duelle – auch wenn einige prominente Namen dieses Jahr fehlen.

Grosse Abwesende: Die Racket Rockers rund um die dreifache Weltmeisterin Nathalie Vogel müssen den diesjährigen Interclub absagen. Verletzungsprobleme machen dem Team zu schaffen: Auch ihr Bruder Joshua Zeoli sowie der amtierende Schweizermeister Oliver Bühler sind aktuell nicht ganz fit. Ebenfalls nicht am Start sind Bern vou druf und die Zuger Racketeers.

Starkes Teilnehmerfeld trotz Rückzügen: Umso erfreulicher ist das starke Engagement anderer Clubs: RC Léman, RC Fribourg und RC Zürichsee schicken je zwei Teams ins Rennen, RC Fricktal ist mit einer Equipe vertreten und Team Rapid Luzern meldet sich mit einem neu formierten Team zurück.

Nationalliga A

In der NLA gelten die Titelambitionen ganz klar dem Team Zürichsee 1, das mit den beiden Mamié-Brüdern und Vize-Schweizermeisterin Linda Rohrer hervorragend besetzt ist. Auch RC Léman 1 bringt eine starke Mannschaft an den Start. Team Rapid Luzern betritt Neuland auf diesem Niveau und geht als Aussenseiter ins Rennen.

Nationalliga B

Die NLB verspricht ein enges Rennen. Zürichsee 2 geht als Favorit ins Turnier, doch auch Fricktal, RC Léman 2 und RC Fribourg 2 verfügen über ausgeglichene Teams und könnten für Überraschungen sorgen. Hier dürfte es auf jeden Satz ankommen.

Fazit: Trotz prominenter Ausfälle dürfen sich Fans auf ein hochklassiges Turnier freuen. Der Spielbeginn ist um 9:30 Uhr im Vitis Schlieren – Zuschauer sind herzlich willkommen!

A small Swiss delegation consisted of only 3 players - Adeline, Graham and Léon - took part in this year's Racketlon German Open at the ZAP in Nussloch. As in the previous years the tournament was organized by a group of students who ensured that the event ran smoothly. Moreover, the nice weather allowed to camp outside the hall. This opportunity was utilized by several players, which made the tournament even more enjoyable and convenient.

Mixed and Doubles Events

With Adeline and Léon only one Swiss pair played the mixed event this year. After some good fights in the heat they ended up fourth. Nevertheless, they enjoyed playing together and could play a lot of nice rallies.
More successful were the players from Switzerland in the doubles events. Graham won all of his group matches together with his partner from Hong Kong in the Men's C Doubles draw and thus got to the final. There they had to play against a German pair, which was a bit too strong for them, such that they ended up second. Adeline and Léon also harmonized very well together with their partners from the Netherlands and from Germany in the Women's Doubles respectively the Men's Doubles elite events. Both of them beat all of their opponents and managed to secure both of the titles! In addition, it has to be mentioned that it was the first time for Léon to win an international doubles elite title.

Singles Events

After the mixed and double matches on Friday the three Swiss players played also singles on Saturday and Sunday. At temperatures well above 30 degrees Celsius Graham, Adeline and Léon gave their best and were able to achieve some good results. However, all of them finished in their categories on the ungrateful fourth place. Despite the results they had some fun beside and on the court and enjoyed the weather in the nice garden in the center.

To sum up, it was a very successful event with great weather, but only a small number of participants. Hopefully there will be a few more Swiss players next year.

The next big international tournament will already be the world championships in Rotterdam, where two teams will represent Switzerland. Good luck for everyone, who will be participating there!
