Rediscovering the joy of tennis on grass courts
The Founder
Motivated by his passion for grass court tennis, enthusiastic player Paul Reardon envisioned a complete resource for all things related to grass courts.
Since 2022, Paul has supported Bonmont Golf and Tennis Club’s desire to construct the first grass court in Switzerland for tournament purposes. Pictured below is Paul Reardon with his close friend Daniel-Sacha Fradkoff, President of Bonmont Tennis Club.
The first Bonmont Tennis Masters, held in 2024, featured many top ATP players who are passionate about grass play.
