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:
“Parents can fail to cheer your successes as wildly as you expected, pointing out that you are sharing your Nobel Prize with a couple of other people, or that your Oscar was for supporting actress, not really for a starring role. More subtly, they can cheer your successes too wildly, forcing you into the awkward realization that your achievement of merely graduating or getting the promotion did not warrant the fireworks and brass band.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
