Story
Kolumnen
I play Tennis because...
I simply enjoy being on the court and getting into
competition every day. I am fascinated by Football
as a team sport but I love the sole independence
and responsibility you have to accept in Tennis.
This One-On-One is what thrills me more personal-
ly. I realize every day that it is my dream to play
Tennis professionally and I enjoy working for this
goal.
Home to me is...
somewhere I can relax 100% and leave the stress
of the preceding weeks behind. There, I am close
with family and friends. It simply feels good after
travelling to tournaments or a week of practice..
That’s why I look forward to coming home, even
after thrilling journeys to far away countries.
I like...
…open and friendly people. One should never
loose one’s humor and never forget about friends.
And I like people who are reliable and trustworthy.
Private
I don‘t like…
the opposite of the aforementioned, really. Also, I
don’t like if my counterpart does not confirm stand-
points with arguments and just sticks to an opinion
out of principle.
I think I am best at...
organizing my time. Many people often ask me
how I manage Tennis and school…I think I am very
good at organizing my day-to-day schedule and
working through it thoroughly, no matter whether it
is school or Tennis.
I am bad at...
seeing my FC Bayern loose! I hate losing anyway,
however, in Tennis I can give my best and fairly
congratulate my opponent after the match
(although this doesn’t come easy all the time
either…). I myself am responsible for my perfor-
mance and cannot look at others for excuses. It‘s
different with Football, as I am just a spectator then
and cannot join in.
Really relaxing to me is…
being at home with family, of course. Also, spen-
ding an evening with friends playing video games
is fun, too. Simply being in good company, chatting
and having a good laugh – great.
If I could choose somebody to spend a day with
this would be...
probably Roger Federer. He is one of the best Ten-
nis players of all time, is well-known everywhere
and well respected. He has not afforded anything
scandalous ever and, in my view, is a perfect
sportsman. No matter where, when or in what situ-
ation he appears, he always presents himself per-
fectly. He represents Tennis better than anybody
else, always friendly, never arrogant. I would like to
accompany him for a day and to see what it’s like
Private
If I was an animal I would probably be...
a tiger because it combines in an impressive way
power, speed, elegance, care and killer instinct.
My role model in sports is...
Novak Djokovic. He impresses me because I can
identify with his way of playing. I like how he shows
his emotions but remains in control almost every
time. Especially in tight situations under pressure he
performs his best Tennis. Also, I like his sports-
manship and always fair behavior vis-à-vis his
opponents – especially when he lost bitterly. His
contribution to the Davis Cup victory of his country
was unbelievable. For him playing Davis Cup still is
an honor. I like that. He may polarize with his
extroverted behavior, but I think Tennis simply
needs such characters.
