The last three years have been eventful.

After undergoing surgery on both hips and both shins between 2021 and 2023, I was forced to take a break from the courts. During this period, I was able to complete my bachelor’s degree in biomedical sciences at the University of Fribourg.

Following these events, I found myself in September 2023 with a dilemma: continue my studies or return to badminton.

Since I am writing this post today, the answer is clear. I chose to focus entirely on badminton for the next few years. Here I am in June 2024 with a 2024 Swiss championship title in men’s doubles and a final, as well as several 5th places internationally. But above all, I am lucky to be able to practice my passion, badminton, every day.

Best regards,
