In addition to forehand, backhand, volley, etc., the 28-year-old Coburger also stacks boxes in the local supermarket. "I put shelves in and out with a buddy, see that the sausage and cheese are filled up, sort out empty boxes, we call it boxing," says Krawietz: "Last week I did security in front of the entrance, shopping carts with Disinfectant sprayed. "
He had generally been planning for a long time "to have a look at a normal job. Corona now gives me the opportunity to do so," said Krawietz, who learned from a friend that people are currently desperately looking for branches. Above all, his new job gave him "more appreciation".
"Some of the colleagues here get up at five in the morning and are in the shop from half past five to fill the shelves. In my life, on the other hand, I had the luxury of being able to turn my hobby into a profession," said Krawietz, who is of course his real profession is still working despite the new part-time job. "As a professional, thanks to a special permit, I can train in a tennis hall, I play three or four times a week," said Krawietz.
