Koenig follows in father’s footsteps, forges own legacy with Baylor men’s tennis

By Aidan O’Connor | Sports Writer

When Luc Koenig was a little boy in South Africa, his father, Rob Koenig, gave him a choice: Luc could do anything he wanted, or he could follow in his father’s footsteps as a professional tennis player. His father never forced tennis on him but made sure he knew that the journey to becoming a professional tennis player would be hard.

Now, a junior on Baylor men’s tennis team, Luc accepted the challenge and ran with it.

“My dad played some dubs (doubles) on the tour, and he’s always been so supportive of me,” Luc said.
