I do know that kohl is a cabbage, and schreiber is a writer, so this
means that Philip Kohlschreiber translates into English as Philip
CabbageWriter, which during Wimbledon is possibly more useful
information than the above :-)

Kohl is also charcoal - I think it is even used in English in that sense
in the context of (especially stage) make-up. So I would imagine
Kohlschreiber is more likely to mean pencil or crayon than cabbagewriter
