Björn Phau (born October 4, 1979) is a German male tennis player. He reached a singles ranking of 59 in the world on June 19, 2006. He defeated Andre Agassi 7–5, 7–5 at the 2006 Dubai Tennis Championships. He plays right-handed. His main strengths are his movement, foot speed and fitness. He is sponsored by Nike and Wilson.
He is the son of a German mother and an Indonesian father.
At the 2007 SAP Open, Phau showed incredible sportsmanship while playing in the first round against Konstantinos Economidis. A ball that Phau hit to Economondis was out, but not called by the line judge. Economidis returned it, and Phau having seen that his ball was out, let the return go by, giving the point to Economidis. Phau went on to win the match and advance to the second round.
