Info This was Bungert`s most important title.Although,he managed to win the south african title in 1963 which was regarded as the most important one after the 4 Grand slam Champion-
ships,Hamburg always had a much better and more international draw during these years(even better than the Australian Championships).Throughout the 60ies
the German Championships were regarded as one of the 7 major Championships in the world(after he 4 Grand Slams,
Johannesburg and Rome).
After more than 5o years Bungert`s win in Hamburg has become more important for german Tennis,since it became increasingly more difficult for a german Player to win the Singles Championship.After the all-German final of 1964,
only the late Karl Meiler in 1973,Hans-Joachim PlÃ¶tz in 1974, Boris Becker in 1990,Michael Stich in 1992 and 1993
and Tommy Haas in 2012 reached the final.Only Michael Stich managed to win in 1993.Especially painfull is the memory of Becker`s unnecessary defeat in 1990 at the hands of Juan Aguilera,a player whom he dominated at every other occasion.
