Niclas Kroon (born 5 February 1966) is a former tennis player from Sweden. The right-hander turned pro in 1986 and reached his career-high singles ranking on the ATP Tour of World No. 46 in December 1989. His best performance at a Grand Slam came at the 1990 French Open, where he reached the fourth round.
During his career, Kroon was known for the 'Vicht' salute as a form of celebration.[1] This was later adopted by Lleyton Hewitt, who bought the rights to the trademark after Kroon had mistakenly let it lapse.
