Oscar Otte, born 16 July 1993 (age 28 years), in Cologne, Germany. He has a career high ATP singles ranking of world No. 74, achieved on 21 March 2022 and a career high doubles ranking of world No. 161, achieved on 15 May 2017.
His sister and her husband love Chick-fil-A and Taco Bell. Hey, who doesn’t? In his words, they “force” him to partake when he’s near one. “At night,” he clarified after his Seppi win, “not before a match.”
During the 2021 US open he suffered a stomach bug. Yet after getting ill during his first two qualifying matches at the US Open.
“In the moment when it happened, I was just thinking, ‘Okay, doesn’t matter what the score is, how the match is going to end,’” Otte told ATPTour.com during a press conference. “I just wanted to be off court [and] out of the sun because it was so humid and hot. “It’s a crazy ride. Just unbelievable. I didn’t expect that I could come so far.”
Otte qualified for Wimbledon, where he won his opener before losing against Andy Murray in five sets.
“Qualies are always tough, especially the first two rounds. I wasn’t in very good physical shape,” Otte said. “I know if I play well and my game works really well, I can do a lot of damage no matter who my opponent is. “It’s tough. It was a long way, but I think it’s still not the end.”
Mies was 13 when he first met Otte, who was 10 at the time. They first played at Marienburger SC in Germany for eight years, before shifting to Rot-Weiss Köln for 10 years. Their first club match together they crushed two opponents in doubles.
Mies describes Otte as being really small. “He’s always been really skinny and small, and he was wearing a hat. His hat was so big, you couldn’t see his face!” Mies said. “He was 10 years old and his racquet was bigger than he was. You could already see that he was feeling the ball and he was hitting the ball clean.”
At the time, Mies remembered Otte being more of a scrappy player, “He’s always been pretty small until he was 16, 17 and all of a sudden he grew so fast in a short period of time, which I think helped his game,” Mies said. “All of a sudden he made this huge jump in height and all of a sudden he has this huge serve, so he can actually serve big and still play from the baseline.”
