Philipp Kohlschreiber has been a professional tennis player since 2001. Has the Augsburg player’s career now come to an end? After his elimination from the tournament in Munich, the 38-year-old speaks for himself.
Routin tennis player Philipp Kohlschreiber has spoken again about an imminent end to his career after his first round defeat at the clay court tournament in Munich. “Tennis is still a great love at home, but I no longer have the strength and muse to live in a hotel week after week,” said the 38-year-old from Augsburg. However, he said he would “certainly” play the French Open and Wimbledon qualifiers.
Kohlschreiber has won the traditional event on the Iphitos course in Munich three times in his career. Against his compatriot Daniel Altmaier, who is 15 years younger, it was already over in round one on Monday after a 6:7 6:3 and 1:6. “I’m not quite the professional anymore. I don’t play twice a day. I play maybe once a day. There are just a lot of hours missing in the year,” said Kohlschreiber.
