Biography

Nicklisch was born in Salzkotten and performed well as a junior, most notably winning the 16 and Under title at the Orange Bowl in 1992, which he secured with a win in the final over Rogier Wassen.[1] He also represented Germany in the Junior Davis Cup in 1992 when they finished runners-up to France.[2]

On the professional tour he made it to 246 in the world. He played in the main draw of the 1993 Gerry Weber Open as a wildcard and lost in the first round to seventh seed Marcos Ondruska.[3] In 1999 he won two Challenger titles, the singles at Aschaffenburg and doubles at Sylt. His victory in the Aschaffenburg Challenger included wins from the quarter-final stage over Radek Štěpánek, Alexander Popp and then Luis Horna in the final.[4] At the 2000 BMW Open he made a return to an ATP Tour main draw by featuring the men's doubles competition with Tomas Nydahl. They were beaten in the first round by eventual champions David Adams and John-Laffnie de Jager.[5]
