Who is Frederik Nielsen?
Frederik Løchte Nielsen is a professional male tennis player. Nielsen competes mainly on the ATP Challenger Tour, in both singles and doubles.
Nielsen is coached by fellow Dane John Larsen and is a member of the Denmark Davis Cup team. His grandfather is former grand slam finalist Kurt Nielsen.
In 2012, Nielsen won the Wimbledon Men's Doubles Championship with Britain's Jonathan Marray. He thus became the first Dane ever to win a Wimbledon Championship title, his grandfather, Kurt Nielsen, having won the Wimbledon Junior Championship Boys' Singles title in 1947. Nielsen and Marray, who had only played three tournaments together previously, became also the first wild card ever to win the Wimbledon Men's Doubles. Surprisingly though, Nielsen decided not to continue playing with Marray following the 2012 season, and subsequently dropped out of the world's top 50 in doubles, following failure to defend the title at Wimbledon the following year.
