I just read an article today and remember it from the Natalee case, that he played tennis frequently, especially with his father. I wish I could remember where I read it, but it was stating how he was playing in a doubles tournament the night either of, before or after Natalee went missing, with his Dad. That immediately came to mind when they said they found a racquet in his room, that I guess is now really a bat.
I'm off to find the article.

Joran and his father, Paulus, often played doubles tennis at the club, she said.
The night before he was arrested for the first time in Holloway's disappearance, he played doubles tennis with his father in the Moet & Chandon Anniversary Cup tournament, Frans said.
``They lost,'' she said.
The match took place at 7:30 p.m. June 8, 2005. Some 10 hours later, Aruban police arrested him. The day was supposed to be memorable for other reasons -- he was supposed to graduate with honors that evening from the International School of Aruba.
