Behind Alexander Zverev, "Doppel O" is Germany's second-best player in the ATP world rankings.

Worth knowing about Oscar Otte's career.

Munich – The name of Oscar Otte, who was born in Cologne on July 16, 1993, has been known to German tennis fans for years.

However, the 1. FC Köln fan only achieved the final media breakthrough in 2021 at the fourth Grand Slam held in New York: At the US Open, Otte qualified through to the round of 16.

But that's not all: At the end of last season, Oscar Otte won three tournaments at the second highest level, the Challenger Tour, collected valuable points and confirmed his good form.

As a result, Otte climbed further up the world rankings and was in the top 100 of the ATP world rankings for the first time in his career at the beginning of 2022.

On Instagram, Otte posted under a photo that showed him with a clenched fist: "Hard work - ready for more." In German:

Oscar Otte – his career

Oscar Otte has been a tennis pro since 2011 and was initially mainly on the Future Tour.

In 2015 Otte became German tennis champion.

From 2017 he played regularly Challenger tournaments - and with success right from the start: In the first year he surprisingly reached the final at the Challenger in Qingdao as a qualifier, where he lost to the Serb Janko Tipsarevic.

A few weeks later - together with his Cologne teammate Andreas Mies - his first Challenger title in doubles in Rome.

In the same year, Otte also celebrated his first Challenger triumph in singles: In the final in Lisbon he defeated the top 100 player Taro Daniel.

Thanks to his successful season, he achieved his best placing to date in October 2017 at rank 129. Other highlights of his career:

• 2018: first (match) victory on the ATP tour (1st round in Stockholm)

• 2019: first (match) victory in a Grand Slam tournament (1st round at the French Open)

• 2021: Reached the final of the Challenger tournament in Prague

• 2021: Five-set loss to Alexander Zverev in the first round of the French Open, although Otte had already led 6-3, 6-3.

• 2022: Quarterfinals at the ATP 250 tournament in Belgrade

Oscar Otte – the entertainer

Oscar Otte then delivered the match of his life in Wimbledon in 2021: In the second round he lost to Andy Murray 3: 6, 6: 4, 6: 4, 4: 6, 2: 6 despite a strong performance.

Otte had played his way into the main draw of the Grand Slam tournament for the first time through qualification and challenged the 34-year-old Scotsman to an exciting match.

A highlight of the duel was Otte's reaction after a slip.

The man from Cologne lay casually on his side and pretended to smoke a cigarette or a joint.

Otte thus garnered a lot of sympathy on the Internet.

Otte caused another big smile in the media when he asked the referee in the first set to get him other shorts because his were too big.

He actually received new shorts and even won two of the five sets.

His “pants problem” in retrospect:

"The laundry service in the hotel didn't work that well.

So I only had pants with me.

It kept slipping up during the match.

I don't even know exactly why.

So I asked the referee for replacement pants.

Then they brought me two, but one was four times as big and would have gotten over my knees.

The other had a sponsor's logo sewn on, I couldn't have played with that either.

So I had to keep my pants on.

Luckily, at some point it stopped sliding up.”

one was, however, four times as big and would have jumped over my knees.

The other had a sponsor's logo sewn on, I couldn't have played with that either.

So I had to keep my pants on.

Luckily, at some point it stopped sliding up.”
