Christian Geyer (born April 12, 1964 in Hamburg ) is a former German tennis player .
He reached his highest world rankings with rank 154 on October 15, 1990 in singles and rank 253 on November 15, 1993 in doubles.
Geyer recorded the greatest success of his career in September 1990 at the ATP Challenger tournament in Thessaloniki ($ 75,000 prize money), which he surprisingly won as an outsider. He was German champion in doubles, German vice-champion in singles and a long-time player in various German clubs in the 1st Bundesliga.
In the years that followed, he was increasingly troubled by bad luck with injuries, so that he later only competed in doubles in tournaments. His last (international) appearance in doubles was at the ATP Challenger tournament in Hamburg in February 1999.
After his active career, Christian Geyer became the player-trainer of the Hamburg tennis club Klipper THC and is actively involved in promoting young talent. In 2005 he became the father of a daughter.
