Nicklas Kroon

Niclas Kroon (born February 5, 1966 in Karlstad) is a former tennis player from Sweden. The right-hander turned pro in 1986 and reached his highest individual ranking on the ATP Tour on December 11, 1989, when he became World number 46. His best performance at a Grand Slam came at the 1990 French Open, where he made it to the fourth round.

During his career, Kroon was known for the 'vicht' salute as a form of celebration. This was later adopted by Lleyton Hewitt, who bought the rights to the trademark after Kroon had mistakenly let it lapse. ^[1]
