'''Michael Detlef Stich''' ({{IPA|de|ˈmɪçaʔeːl ˈʃtɪç|-|De-Michael Stich.ogg}}; born 18 October 1968) is a German former professional [[tennis]] player. He was ranked world No. 2 in men's singles by the [[Association of Tennis Professionals]] (ATP), achieved in 1993, and No. 9 in men's doubles, achieved in 1991. Stich won 18 [[ATP Tour]]-level singles titles, including the [[1991 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles|1991 Wimbledon Championships]], as well as the [[1993 ATP Tour World Championships – Singles|1993 ATP Tour World Championships]] and the [[Grand Slam Cup#1992|1992 Grand Slam Cup]]. He also won ten doubles titles, including the men's doubles title at the [[1992 Wimbledon Championships – Men's doubles|1992 Wimbledon Championships]], partnering [[John McEnroe]], and the gold medal in men's doubles [[Tennis at the 1992 Summer Olympics – Men's doubles|1992 Barcelona Olympics]], partnering [[Boris Becker]]. Stich was part of the victorious [[Germany Davis Cup team|German]] team at the [[1993 Davis Cup]], and was also the singles runner-up at the [[1994 US Open – Men's singles|1994 US Open]] and the [[1996 French Open – Men's singles|1996 French Open]].

==Personal life==
Stich was raised in [[Elmshorn]], Schleswig-Holstein. 

Stich was married to the German actress Jessica Stockmann from 1992 to 2003. 

In 2005, he married Alexandra Rikowski. They live in [[Hamburg]].

==Career==

He turned professional in 1988 and won his first top-level singles title in 1990 at Memphis, Tennessee.

Stich surprisingly won the men's singles title [[Wimbledon Championships|Wimbledon]] in 1991. He defeated the defending champion and world No. 1 [[Stefan Edberg]] in the semifinals, without breaking his service once. Then in the final, he beat his compatriot and three-time Wimbledon champion [[Boris Becker]] in straight sets. Edberg and Becker had contested the three previous Wimbledon finals.<ref name="auto">{{cite web|url=https://www.wimbledon.com/en_GB/news/articles/2021-07-07/michael_stich_thirty_years_on.html|title=Michael Stich: thirty years on|website=Wimbledon.com|access-date=4 July 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=International Tennis Hall of Fame |url=https://www.tennisfame.com/hall-of-famers/inductees/michael-stich |publisher=Tennis Fame |access-date=17 September 2025}}</ref>

In 1992, Stich teamed with [[John McEnroe]] to win the men's doubles title at Wimbledon in a five-set, five-hour final that stretched into Monday (the day after the tournament normally ends) and ended with a 19–17 set. No male player since has won both singles and doubles at Wimbledon.<ref name="auto"/> Then at the [[1992 Summer Olympics|Summer Olympic Games]] in Barcelona, Stich teamed with Becker to win the men's doubles gold medal. Stich also won the 1992 [[Grand Slam Cup]], defeating [[Michael Chang]] in the final.

A major highlight of 1993 for Stich came at the end-of-year [[Tennis Masters Cup|ATP World Championships]], where he was the only player in the 1990s history of the Championship tournament to claim the title undefeated, overcoming [[Pete Sampras]] in the final.<ref>[[ATP World Tour Finals#Records and statistics]]</ref> Playing for Germany, Stich also won both the [[Davis Cup]] and the [[Hopman Cup]] in 1993.

Stich reached his second [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam]] singles final at the [[1994 US Open (tennis)|1994 US Open]], where he lost in straight sets to [[Andre Agassi]] who was unseeded. Incidentally, Agassi had won the men's singles title at Wimbledon in 1992, the year after Stich accomplished that feat.<ref name=":stich1994us">{{cite news|date=12 September 1994|title=Agassi sweeps Stich to win U. S. Open title|newspaper=Lundington Daily News|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=evAoAAAAIBAJ&dq=Stich+agassi&pg=PA8|accessdate=24 August 2025}}</ref> Stich also helped Germany win the [[World Team Cup]] in 1994.

Stich upset defending champion [[Thomas Muster]] in four sets in the fourth round of the [[1996 French Open – Men's singles|1996 French Open]]<ref name=":stich1996fre">{{cite news|date=11 June 1996|title=Russian makes French history|newspaper=Manila Stndard|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fKEVAAAAIBAJ&dq=Stich+muster+kafelnikov&pg=PA16
|accessdate=24 August 2025}}</ref> en route to appearing in his third and final Grand Slam singles final, where he lost to [[Yevgeny Kafelnikov]] in straight sets.<ref name=":stich1996fre" /> He also won his final career singles title that year at [[ECC Antwerp|Antwerp]]. 

Stich announced his retirement from the professional tour in 1997, after Wimbledon. His last run at Wimbledon started with a win over US top-ten player [[Jim Courier]] and ended with a five-set loss to [[Cédric Pioline]] in the semifinals, who went on to lose to Sampras in the final. His last doubles title came in 1997 at [[Gerry Weber Open|Halle]].

Stich's all-round ability, both from the baseline and at the net, allowed him to become one of the few players to win both singles and doubles tournaments on all surfaces. He had a positive career head-to-head record against Sampras.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.atpworldtour.com/Players/Head-To-Head.aspx?pId=S351&oId=S402 |title=FedEx ATP Head 2 Head – Tennis – ATP World Tour |access-date=21 November 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150227120202/http://www.atpworldtour.com/Players/Head-To-Head.aspx?pId=S351&oId=S402 |archive-date=27 February 2015 }}</ref>

Since his retirement, he has devoted most of his time to his AIDS foundation. He also works as a tennis commentator for the BBC. In 2018, he was inducted into the [[International Tennis Hall of Fame]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tennisfame.com/hall-of-famers/inductees/michael-stich|title=International Tennis Hall of Fame|website=Tennisfame.com|access-date=4 July 2022}}</ref>
