Hans-Jürgen Pohmann

Hans-Jürgen Pohmann (born 23 May 1947) is a former professional tennis player from Germany.

During his career, Pohmann won one singles and five doubles titles on the ATP Tour. He reached the quarter finals of the 1974 French Open, beating Adriano Panatta before losing to François Jauffret. since 2011Template:Dated maintenance category (articles), he was a commentator for the German television network RBB. Pohmann is probably most remembered for a controversial second round match at the 1976 US Open against Ilie Năstase. In that era, early round US Open matches were best of three-sets. At 5–5 in the third set Năstase was furious at a photographer and hit a ball at him and swung his racket near him. The crowd were at fever pitch by this point. Then Pohmann "lunged for a ball and fell grimacing painfully to the ground holding his right leg in great pain". There was a delay and the cramp subsided and "Pohmann continued to Năstase's obvious annoyance. Three times Pohmann went down on his cramped leg and three times he came back to fight Năstase to a standstill". With the aid of the tournament physician, who attended the leg, Pohmann saved three match points and the set entered a tie-break. Năstase was screaming at the umpire and making obscenities to the crowd. Pohmann had two match points but Năstase won and then screamed at Pohmann as the two approached the net. The umpire George Armstrong refused to shake Năstase's hand as the Rumanian continued raving. Năstase and Pohmann nearly came to blows in the clubhouse after the match before being separated. Later, Năstase claimed the match should have been forfeited to him when Pohmann was unable to continue play immediately.
