Hrajme Tenis Slovensko had its special day at the Bratislava Open

Today, as part of the Bratislava Open 2026 (ATP Challenger Tour, clay, €160,680 + H), the “HTS Day” took place, dedicated to the presentation of the Hrajme Tenis Slovensko (HTS) project.

The association is primarily supported by Evžen Balko, who serves as its main donor and patron. HTS focuses on supporting talented young players aged 10–15, combining systematic tennis development with the professional expertise of top-level tennis and fitness coaches.

The project was founded by Branislav Stankovič, Filip Polášek, and Marián Vajda, who also oversee its professional and strategic direction.

The coaching team consists of tennis coaches Pavol Krta, Branislav Sekáč, and Boris Borgula, while strength and conditioning training is led by fitness coach Peter Lopata.

The highlight of the program was the presentation of the project, during which the organizers introduced their approach to player development and the overall athletic growth of young athletes through on-court training demonstrations.

During these sessions, several young talents participating in the program showcased their skills, including Alexandra Janošková, Michaela Filová, Paulína Demeterová, Ján Galád, Michael Marhevka, Chiara Holecová, Natália Rolková, Max Lörinčík, Lukas Lörinčík, and Lea Hessel.
