As a junior, he was ranked as high as No. 7 in the world singles rankings in May 2000 (and No. 12 in doubles).

Professional career

In 2009 in Gstaad, Lammer won his first ATP tour title with fellow Swiss player Marco Chiudinelli. Having been granted a wildcard into the doubles draw, they managed to reach the final. There, they defeated the No. 1 seeds Jaroslav Levinský and Filip Polášek 7–5, 6–3. It was Lammer's first ATP final, and his first title.[1]
