The 51st International Tennis Championships of Germany took place from August 3rd to 13th, 1957 on the Rothenbaum in Hamburg .
Tuesday has now been established as the final day of the championships. For the first time since Oscar Kreuzer in 1920 there was again a male triple winner with the Australian Mervyn Rose . In the absence of his compatriot Lew Hoad , who has meanwhile turned to the pros , he won the men's doubles with the only successful defending champion Don Candy and the mixed doubles alongside Edda Buding . Erika Vollmer was unlucky in this competition that her American partner Hugh Stewart , with whom she had won in 1954 and 1955, was banned from the US Tennis Association and she was left without a partner.
In the women's category, the two Mexicans Yola Ramírez and Rosa Reyes made the victory with the better end for Ramírez among themselves. The two British women Angela Mortimer and Pat Ward won the women's doubles . 19 years after her victory in mixed 1938, the Polish Jadwiga Jędrzejowska took part in the tournament in Hamburg for the first time after the Second World War. The 18-year-old Christian Kuhnke had the first appearance at the men's in Hamburg .

Remarks
↑ The US tennis players should continue the season in the USA after the tournament in Wimbledon according to the will of the US American Tennis Association. In the singles Stewart was already eliminated when the suspension was issued, while the Hamburg tournament management was able to get Stewart to continue playing in the men's doubles that were already running. Budge Patty , who lives in Paris, was obviously not affected by this rule.
