Oscar Kreuzer (June 14, 1887 – May 3, 1968) was a male tennis player from Germany.
He played at the 1908 Summer Olympics and at the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden where he won a bronze medal in the men's singles tournament. In 1914, he and Otto Froitzheim were member of the German Davis Cup team, playing a Davis Cup semifinal in Pittsburgh against Australia. World War I was declared in the middle of the match, but those monitoring the telegraph did not want to disrupt the match. Froitzheim and Kreuzer sailed back to Germany as soon as possible, but their boat was sank off the coast of Gibraltar and they spent the war years as prisoners of war of the British.
Famous quotes containing the word oscar:
“If, with the literate, I am
Impelled to try an epigram,
I never seek to take the credit;
We all assume that Oscar said it.”
