Eric Jelen (born March 11, 1965 in Trier) is a former tennis player from Germany, who won one singles (1989, Bristol) and five doubles titles during his professional career.
The right-hander Jelen reached his highest singles ATP-ranking on July 7, 1986, when he became the number 23 player in the world.[1] Jelen was a member of two Davis Cup-winning teams. In 1988, he teamed with Boris Becker in doubles to earn the win that guaranteed a West German victory over Sweden in the final.[2] The following year, West Germany successfully defended the title by defeating Sweden in the final, and Becker and Jelen again won the doubles match.[3]
