Tennis
I trained and travelled extensively as a junior tennis player, reached a career-high ITF junior ranking of 322 in the world, and still continue the sport as an important part of my life in Munich.
Junior tennis
Competitive background
I trained and travelled as a junior tennis player and reached a career-high ranking of 322 in the ITF junior world rankings.
I trained and competed under well-known coaches such as Nandan Bal, Hemant Bendrey, and Balachandran Manikkath. I also spent a few weeks training in the Netherlands under Martijn Bok and Sven Groeneveld.
Today
Still playing
I continue tennis as a hobby and team sport, currently playing for HC Wacker in Munich in the Landesliga, Südliga, and occasionally for the men’s 30+ team in the Bayernliga.
The sport still gives me a strong connection to competition, routine, and long-term discipline outside research and engineering work.
