Martina sells Villa in Regensdorf
April 20, 1999.

The Villa is already available to be sold (6 million swiss francs = more than 5 mil. US$). Reason regarding to Mario Widmer (Martina's Manager): "Martina was only there for a few weeks a year, she is traveling alot. Also the trainings-facilities were not too good." Martina will keep her house in Truebbach, where she was raised and it will stay her "official" home (at least what taxes belong). In Saddlebrook, at the west coast of  florida, Martina want to build up a 2nd home, incl. Tennis school for youngsters.

Martina buyed the Villa in Regensdorf in July 1997. Which was very close to the Zurich Airport. She paid only 2.5 Million swiss francs for it (because the owner needed to sell it immediately ,the price was very low).

The swiss economy magazine "Bilanz" , estimated the value of that villa to about 8 Million swiss francs.

Martina doesn't escape from Switzerland. Mario and Melanie: "Martina will train more and more in USA. That's because we do sell the house. She needs a 2nd Home in the USA. "

Saddlebrook , north of Tampa (lil Markus was in Tampa 10 years ago-if someone cares), where the famous Hopman Tennis school is located, are perfect conditions for her (regarding to tennis).

Martina want's to build her own school ,with about 6 to 8 youngsters. Martina will be three to four times during two or three weeks live in Saddlebrook, the rest of the time ,she will be in Truebbach. (actually i'm not sure how the text was meant... only three weeks a year?)
