What is Philipp Kohlschreiber doing these days? Well: if you can trust independent image sources, Germany's long-standing number one will take care of the lawn in the garden. And see if he shouldn't even clean behind the garage and chop a little wood.

Kohlschreiber did not want to deny this in conversation on Instagram Live with Christopher Kas. Alone: The roller with which he rolled across the meadow can only be moved extremely slowly. But Kohlschreiber has enough time just like all other tennis professionals. By the way, coach Markus Hipfl also briefly contacted Kasi on Saturday evening.

"The audience tends to tip over against Djokovic"
As with Jürgen Melzer, Kasi is also the most important stage in his career with Kohli. And with it the joint tournament wins in doubles (three in total). But the memory of the first victory in a Challenger is still present at Kohlschreiber - this happened in India. And it probably only came about based on a fine tip from the travel agent: Kohli had advised her to pour a schnapps right at the start of the trip. So that he can disinfect himself from the inside. Kohlschreiber followed the advice - although otherwise he hardly ever drinks alcohol.

The big match successes were also addressed, such as in 2008 against Australia against Andy Roddick. Or the two victories against Novak Djokovic - most recently in Indian Wells in 2019. Where Kohlschreiber ended up with large parts of the audience on his side, which would be less often the case with matches against Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. Djokovic has a lot of hardcore fans, but if a match against the current world number one took a surprising turn, the neutral audience would definitely support the outsider: "With Djokovic, the audience tends to tip over."
