About Us

How did it all begin?

It all started in the last century, in 1991 when the Vucetic familay, who has spent most of its life in tennis, decided to found a club. As tennis was in their blood, the founders Bane and Dora Vucetic planted their love for the "white sport” in to the foundation of the club itself.

Bane's first contact with a raquet was in 1957 – and has never put it down since. As an active tournament player and member of the National Team of the former Yugoslavia, he was for several years a coach at the "Red Star” Tennis Club. He moved on to become the Head Coach and Director of the "Partizan” Tennis Club. Where else would he meet his future wife, but on a tennis court.

Dora Alavantic was a member of the National Team, active tournament player and Bane was her coach for a short time.  They had two children, and as would be expected, they inherited the love for tennis.

First came Nikola, better known as Kica and eleven years later into the world came Aleksandra – Sasha. Both made their first steps on a tennis court and as soon as they were old enough a tennis raquet found its way into their hands. Kica is also proud to point out that he is in the world of tennis from birth, his membership at the "Partizan” Tennis Club dates back to 23 September 1977. He was born a day before.

On finishing their competative days, Sasha and Nikola brought their knowledge and enthusiasm into their club. The club was naamed with the first two letters of their names – SA &  NI. And so, the club became the result of the love for the game by the entire Vucetic family.

Where are we now?

Nearly a quarter of a century from it's founding, "Sa&Ni” has grown into a serious recreational tennis club, where you can always receive advice on your game development, where you will experience a sound sports atmosphere, enjoy healthy human communication a become aware that tennis is a way of life.
