Biography

Frédéric Niemeyer (born April 24, 1976 in Campbellton, New Brunswick, Canada) is a Canadian former professional tennis player. Niemeyer was born in New Brunswick but now resides in Sherbrooke, Québec. He played college tennis at Middle Tennessee State University, and lost in the final of the National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships to Michael Russell. He was named Male Player of the Year by Tennis Canada in 2002. Niemeyer competed in both singles and doubles at the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens, reaching the second round in doubles with Daniel Nestor. He lost in the first round in singles against Taylor Dent. In 2003, he reached the second round in singles of Wimbledon, the only Grand Slam appearance of his career, but lost to Felix Mantilla. He also reached the second round of Wimbledon twice in doubles, in 2005 partnering Glenn Weiner, and again the following year with Tuomas Ketola. In 2008 in Beijing, he competed in his second Summer Olympic Games, but lost in the first round in both singles (to Guillermo Cañas) and doubles, partnering Nestor again. He reached a career-high singles ranking of No. 134 on March 22, 2004 and a career-high doubles ranking of No. 142 on August 5, 2002. He retired in August 2009 at the Rogers Cup, where he was defeated in the second round by Roger Federer. Niemeyer was the coach of Milos Raonic from November 2009 to October 2010 and the coach of Vasek Pospisil from December 2010 to October 2012.
