In need of help with a compound word

Hello!

I am currently in the works of helping a client setting up a website for his business, that he wants to grow internationally. The business's name in Swedish can roughly be translated to "The Racket Lab" (he works with customisation of tennis rackets, hence the name).

Now we are in dire need of help with whether we should do an open or closed compound word of the two words "racket" and "lab"; more specifically with whether we should actually call the website "The Racket Lab" or "The Racketlab".

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks.

Call it The Racket Lab and use something like this for a logo or for advertisements:
