Marvin Seidel: Racket & Equipment

European champion in men's doubles, two-time Olympian, and back on the podium at the 2026 Europeans: Marvin Seidel has been one of Germany's most successful doubles players for years.
His international focus currently lies mainly on mixed doubles with Thuc Phuong Nguyen. His game thrives on fast reactions, flat rallies and a lot of pace in the opening shots of a point. In doubles there's barely time for a big backswing – the racket needs to move fast while still offering enough control for drives, blocks and net play.

  • European bronze in mixed doubles 2026
  • Olympian 2020 and 2024
