Anticipating elite tennis matches set in Krefeld's urban forest: HTC Blue and White Tournament
Get Set for a Game-Changing Season with HTC Blau-Weiß Krefeld!
Excitement is building around Huettenallee as the city forest club prepares for the 2025 summer season in the 2nd Tennis Bundesliga (Group North). With ambitious goals set for promotion, team manager Claudia Ploenes is confident they've assembled a squad to match.
A significant transformation lies ahead for the team with no fewer than eleven new players joining. Fear not, though, as fan favorites such as the Italian trio of Stefano Travaglia, Federico Gaio, and Enrico Dalla Valle will be back in the HTC jerseys. The impressive strides made by the 21-year-old Sascha Gueymard-Wayenburg are particularly noteworthy. After his successful Krefeld debut in 2024, he's now the team's number one player, much to Claudia's delight.
But the changes don't stop on the court.
Brace yourself for an interesting coaching shake-up. Former player Patrick Elias, a key member of the 1st men's team since 2023, will be stepping into a coaching role this season, helping steer the Bundesliga adventure.
So, what can we expect from this tech-savvy team in the upcoming season?
The new cast of characters hail from ten different countries, including Ecuador, Brazil, Peru, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, and two players from the home nation, Germany. They'll bring a mix of youthful energy and seasoned expertise, added to the team's roster.
Behind the scenes, the team might also implement innovative training methods, studying opponents' strengths, and employing diverse playing styles. They could focus on improving doubles or singles performances, potentially making some match-winning moves.
And don't forget about team chemistry! Balancing new players with returning stars, the team hopes to foster a supportive environment, ensuring a harmonious transition into the new season.
