That’s what it’s about

Alisha Lehmann tried her hand at the tennis court in the national training camp.

Tennis professional Petros Tsitsipas then challenges her to a mixed duel.

The Nati star accepts the invitation of the brother of world number three Stefanos Tsitsipas.
“Nice to be back,” Alisha Lehmann wrote on Instagram on Friday and posted a picture showing her training with her fellow club members at Aston Villa. In the previous week, the 24-year-old was still in the training camp with the national team in Marbella.
In addition to two test matches against Poland (0:0 and 1:1) and soccer training sessions, the best Swiss soccer players in sunny Andalusia were also active on the tennis court for a variety of sports. So does Lehman. She diligently posted pictures of the unit on the hard court with her teammates and added: “Something different”.
Lehmann accepts the invitation
The whole thing was not hidden from the Greek tennis professional Petros Tsitsipas (ATP 1398). “Do we want to play a mixed doubles?” Challenges the younger brother of superstar Stefanos Tsitsipas (ATP 3) Lehmann with his comment under her post about the duel.
The native of Berne reacts immediately and replies succinctly: “Let’s go”. Whether and when there will actually be a double match between the two sports stars remains to be seen. The only thing that is certain is that Lehmann recently made headlines because she overtook tennis legend Roger Federer in terms of Insta followers.
The maestro himself ended his career as an active professional in the fall of last year, but before that he had already thrilled tennis fans in mixed doubles. In 2018 and 2019, together with Belinda Bencic, he secured the title at the Hopman Cup twice in a row in this discipline. Who knows, maybe Federer and Bencic would be enthusiastic about a mixed doubles match against Lehmann and Tsitsipas.
