Krešimir Friedrich was born in Koprivnica into a family of 11 children, all brothers.
They were occasionally hired as ball boys, and thus had a chance to play a bit sometimes. That same year, he reached third place in the Serbian International Championship in singles and was a runner-up in doubles, pairing with Emil Gabrowitz of Hungary. They only lost to the eventual champions, Franjo Šefer and Ivan Radović.
He was called up twice more, but both meetings resulted in love-match loss for his team
In 1935, in the first international tournament of Saskatchewan Ilirija in Ljubljana, the Friedrich brothers fell in three straight sets to the well-known duo of Franjo Šefer and Franjo Kukuljević. He was coached by František Koželuh.
