On the eve of the Open de Sion, TC Valère hosted its much-anticipated “White Day”—a celebration of tennis tradition, community, and style. The court was a sea of white attire, with players donning classic tennis whites and, in a nod to the sport’s heritage, swinging wooden rackets.
The atmosphere was both nostalgic and electric. Laughter echoed across the clay as seasoned members and newcomers alike embraced the unique challenge of vintage rackets, trading baseline power for finesse and touch. The event was more than a warm-up for the Open de Sion; it was a reminder of tennis’s enduring charm and the camaraderie that defines the club.
“White Day” wasn’t about competition—it was about connection. Players shared stories, admired each other’s retro gear, and enjoyed refreshments courtside, all while soaking in the anticipation for the tournament ahead. As the sun set over Sion, it was clear: tradition is alive and well at TC Valère, and the Open de Sion is set to start with a spirit of unity and fun.
