Questions to Maraike

What is your favorite tournament?

Aruba!!! The atmosphere is amazing there. But I also love the tournament on Reunion Island.

What is your favorite sport besides Beach Tennis?

I like racket sports in general, and I also enjoy running & yoga. When being in the right place I really like kite surfing & skiing as well.

How and why did you start Beach Tennis?

I started playing Beach Tennis in 2011, when I was studying in Vienna. A friend from Tennis invited me to play, and I really liked it. In the beginning it was more like a fun & sporty get-together with friends, and not a pro sport for me yet. That slowly changed in 2013/2014.

Do you have any role models in the sport world?

Many!!! Roger Federer is one of them.

What is the goal in your Beach Tennis career?

I have reached many of my goals already … one long term goal of me is, to leave my footprint in this sport 🙂
