Badener AC Tennis

About Badener AC Tennis

The tennis section of Badener AC plays on 7 clay courts at Dammgasse 24 in Baden and traces its history back to 1899, when the first international tennis tournament was held here. Training covers everyone from mini kids aged 3 upwards to the club teams, and you can also rent courts by the hour without a membership.

What the facility offers

• Courts: 7 clay courts
• Terrace: partly covered, up to 50 seats, with TV and darts
• Stüberl/canteen: table tennis, table football, TV and screen, bar
• Ball machine: for members, for practising strokes without a partner
• Clubroom for celebrations: members can use it for private events on request to the committee, in return for a donation of 150 euros towards the youth programme

In spring 2025 the club brought in the restaurateur Alen Halilovic to run the canteen. According to the club, the canteen is open at the core playing times: on weekdays in the morning and evening depending on bookings, and at weekends. There are drinks, small hot snacks, coffee and cake. Outside these times, drinks and snack machines are available.

Tournaments and history

From 9 to 13 September 2026 the facility hosted the media4more OPEN Baden, an ÖTV category 3 tournament; it was won by Diego Laporta Osante. The Mascherlturnier, in which only doubles are played, opens and closes the season; the closing event was on 3 October 2026. On 7 November 2026 at 9 h members will get the facility ready for winter together; sign up via tennis04.

Around 1900 the club had twelve courts and grounds roughly twice the size of today's; after the First World War half of the land was divided into plots and built on. Since 1984 the club has focused on developing its own young players. In 2012 the men's 60+ Bundesliga team won the European championship title in Spain.
