Florian Mayer (German pronunciation:[ˈfloːʁi̯aːnˈmaɪɐ]; born 5 October 1983) is a German former professionaltennis player.
Mayer reached his career-high singles ranking of world No. 18 in June 2011. Also in 2011, Mayer won his first ATP Tour title after four previous defeats in ATP finals.
Mayer competed at the2004 Summer Olympics.[1] At the2004Wimbledon Championships, Mayer reached the quarter-finals, which is his best Grand Slam result to date.

The biggest win of his career came at the2011 Shanghai Rolex Masters when he upset twenty-time Grand Slam championRafael Nadal in the round of 16.
Mayer was known for his unorthodox style of play. He had a long backswing on hisforehand andbackhand and used many differentslices and spin on his backhand side. He was also known for his jumping backhand dropshots which caught many of his opponents on the backfoot.
Mayer retired from professional tennis after the2018 US Open.[2]

Mayer then qualified for the main draw of theAustralian Open by beatingSergey Bubka,Blaž Kavčič andAmer Delić. There he beatLamine Ouahab in the first round, and then lost toJuan Martín del Potro in the second round.

At the first Grand Slam tournament of the season in Melbourne, Mayer surprisingly defeated Doha finalistNikolay Davydenko in four sets, only to lose against JapaneseKei Nishikori in the second round. Two weeks later, he came through to his second semifinals of the year in Zagreb. On his way to this stage, he defeated top seedMarin Čilić, 6–3, 6–4.

Again he rose to a new career-high rank of No. 21.
By winning three out of three matches at theWorld Team Cup in Düsseldorf, Mayer was the key player in the German team to capture the trophy for the fifth time. He improved to no. 19. The German, however, could not overcome the second round of Roland Garros and Wimbledon, losing in fourth sets in both cases againstAlejandro Falla andXavier Malisse, as he did in the Australian Open. In addition, he lost his Davis Cup quarterfinal match againstRichard Gasquet, despite serving for the match in the third set.
Two weeks later, he reached the Hamburg ATP 500 quarterfinals, losing in straight tiebreaks to third seedNicolás Almagro. However, in the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 of Montreal and Cincinnati, he lost in first round toRichard Gasquet andIvo Karlović, respectively.

Mayer got to the final at the2017 German Open in Hamburg where he lost to namesakeLeonardo Mayer in three sets.
Mayer played his last match on the ATP tour at the2018 US Open, losing toBorna Ćorić in four sets in the first round.
Mayer is an all-court player known for his unique and creative style of play. He has an unusually long take-back on both his forehand and two-handed backhand and generally hits more top-spin than flat on both wings. Despite his height, his groundstrokes and serve lack power, but are consistent and unpredictable. He uses a variety of spins on both wings to mix his shots up and hit drop-shots. He is well known for his double-handed backhand slice, similar to that ofFabrice Santoro andJimmy Connors, and often pulls off jumping backhands and jumping slice drop-shots which catch his opponents off guard. His drop-shots are particularly effective on clay and grass, where he has had most success. Despite having a weaker, top-spin serve, Mayer occasionally serve and volleys and is also known for his two-handed backhand cutting volley. He also often uses achip and charge tactic during points to finish points off. This makes him unpredictable and tricky to play against.
Mayer's biggest weaknesses are his lack of match consistency and fitness, having had inconsistent results throughout his career and a relatively small build. He has also suffered from numerous injuries throughout his career, most notably his groin injury in 2015 that prevented him from playing for more than a year. However, he has since made a comeback, winning his second title at the 2016Halle Open.
