German tennis player and coach
Carsten Arriens (born 11 April 1969) is a former professional
tennis player from Germany.
Career
Arriens played his first tournament on the
ATP Tour in 1991, at the
Geneva Open, where he upset world number 33
Omar Camporese.
In 1992 he won the
Guarujá Open, as a qualifier. It would be his only tour title. He also reached the quarter-finals in
Long Island.
At the
1993 French Open, Arriens won his first
Grand Slam match, outlasting
Thomas Enqvist in five sets. He was then defeated by
MaliVai Washington in the second round.

He had a quiet year in 1994, with his best result being a quarter-final appearance in the
Athens International.
In 1995, while playing New Zealander
Brett Steven in the opening round of the
French Open, Arriens became the first player in the Open era to be disqualified from the French championships. Upon losing the second set, to level the match at 1–1, the German threw his racquet into the net in frustration, from the baseline. He received a warning from Andreas Egli, the chair umpire, but after retrieving his racquet again hurled it away, this time at his chair. It however struck a linesman on his lower leg and the tournament referee was called, which culminated in Arrien's disqualification.

Also that year, Arriens made the second round of the
US Open, with a win over
Karol Kučera and then came up against fourth seed
Boris Becker, who beat him in straight sets. He made three quarter-finals in the
1995 ATP Tour, at
Dubai,
Oporto and
Scottsdale. In Dubai he defeated world number seven
Alberto Berasategui.

He has coached several players including
Andreas Beck,
Louk Sorensen and
Alexander Waske.
He was Team captain of the
Germany Davis Cup team from 2013 to 2014.
