Mayer vs Mayer in Hamburg final

Argentina’s Leonardo Mayer will face Germany’s Florian Mayer in the Hamburg claycourt final on Sunday, the third time the namesakes have clashed on the ATP Tour.

Leonardo Mayer, ranked 138th in the world and the 2014 champion at the tournament, made the final with a 6-3, 7-5 win over compatriot Federico Delbonis.

Florian Mayer, 33 years old and 101 in the rankings, reached the championship match when fellow German Philipp Kohlschreiber retired through injury in the second set.

Kohlschreiber took the first set 6-4 but quit at 3-2 down in the second.

In their two previous meetings on the tour, Leonardo Mayer triumphed in Delray Beach in 2010 with his German rival winning in Halle three years later.
