After the end of his career
Tennis pro Oswald becomes coach of a 15-year-old
Tennis pro Philipp Oswald ended his active career on Wednesday at the Generali Open in Kitzbühel. He takes stock with the "Krone" and reveals his plans for the future. Among other things, he will be working as a coach.
Oswald spent almost 20 years on the professional circuit, his best ranking was 31st in the world. And now he has hung up his tennis racket. "I'm feeling great. Kitzbühel is a fantastic tournament, there are always great matches and I'm happy that I can make a worthy end to a long career here," Oswald describes in the "Krone" talk with Claus Meinert, editor-in-chief of the "Tiroler Krone". He is now looking forward to the time afterwards with his family.
"Will still play in the Bundesliga in Germany"
But tennis will still play a role in his life. "I'll play a bit more Bundesliga in Germany and then I'll start coaching. I'll be coaching a 15-year-old who wants to turn pro. I will now pass on my expertise to him," reveals Oswald. He will therefore remain loyal to tennis: "I'll always be a tennis fan at heart, which is why I've stuck with it for so long."
"Filled in the form as a ball boy"
Will the Vorarlberg native return to Kitzbühel next year as a spectator at the Generali Open? "I've already filled out the form as a ball boy at least once," laughs Oswald, "joking aside: I'll certainly be dropping by."
