Carlos Gattiker (6 June 1956 – 19 May 2010) was a professional tennis player from Argentina.[1]
Gattiker made four Grand Prix doubles semi-finals during his career, at Buenos Aires in 1977, Indianapolis in 1980, Kitzbuhel in 1981 and Bahia in 1983.[2] His partner in Kitzbuhel was his brother Alejandro Gattiker.[2]
He also partnered his brother at Grand Slam level.[2] One of their three Grand Slam appearances together was at the 1980 Wimbledon Championships, where they lost a five-set match to another pair of brothers, John and Tony Lloyd.[2] Gattiker played in five further Grand Slam tournaments, as either a singles of doubles player, but was never able to progress past the first round.[2]
The Argentinian represented his country in a 1980 Davis Cup tie against the United States. He and Ricardo Cano took part in the doubles rubber, which they lost to Peter Fleming and John McEnroe.[3]
