BAD HOMBURG, Germany, June 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Segway Navimow, the World's No. 1 brand in wire-free robotic lawn mowers for two consecutive years*, is an official international Platinum Partner of the Bad Homburg Open. The international WTA grass court tennis tournament will bring together the world's best tennis players from June 20 to 27. Among others, last year's Wimbledon winner Iga Swiatek and Venus Williams, one of the most successful female tennis players of the last decades, will compete on precisely mown lawns.
With this partnership, Navimow shows that championship lawns are possible in any private garden using its commercially available robotic mowers. Just like at the renowned WTA tennis tournament in Bad Homburg, where efficiency and every millimeter of the perennial ryegrass count, Navimow robotic mowers precisely maintain every demanding lawn area at a height of eight millimeters, which corresponds to the championship standard.Dr. Aljoscha Thron, Tournament Director of the WTA Bad Homburg Open powered by Solarwatt and Managing Director of AK Management GmbH, comments on the partnership:"We are proud to have an ideal partner in Navimow, an innovation-driven technology company. Highest precision and premium quality play a decisive role in both grass court tennis and the use of high-end robotic mowers. The partnership between the Bad Homburg Open and Navimow will help further strengthen the international profile and long-term global attractiveness of the tournament."At the Bad Homburg Open, Navimow is deploying robotic mowers from its X4 series, which feature the latest technologies:To ensure that private lawns, like the Center Court, are cleanly cut everywhere and even at the edges, the mowers feature the EdgeSense™ function. This technology allows the robot to recognize, for example, walls or fences during mapping and mowing and to mow up to about five centimeters away. Driving strategy and blade use automatically adapt to transitions and slight differences in height.To protect the turf in domestic gardens during turning maneuvers, just like the championship lawns, Navimow's X4 series features Xero-Turn™ technology with its groundbreaking turf-friendly steering. An eccentric front-wheel steering and patented turf-friendly intelligence enable clean and damage-free maneuvering.Because lawns where children play, like tennis courts, must quickly be playable again, MowMentum™ technology ensures highly efficient mowing with perfect results. A twin-disc cutting deck with twelve blades offers 1.8 times the coverage of single-disc systems. Two 180-watt high-performance motors provide a high travel speed, allowing large lawns to be mowed with significantly reduced time expenditure.
