Nicklas Kulti (born 22 April 1971) is a former professional tennis player from
Sweden. He was born in Stockholm.

Tennis career
Juniors
Kulti was ranked No. 1 in the junior world singles rankings in 1989 after winning
the Australian Open and Wimbledon junior titles, and finishing runner-up at the US
Open.

Pro tour
In 1990, Kulti won his first top-level singles title at Adelaide. He won a total of
three tour singles titles during his professional career. He also won 13 top-level
doubles titles, including the Monte Carlo Masters in 1994 (partnering Magnus
Larsson) and the Paris Masters in 2000 (partnering Max Mirnyi). Kulti was a men's
doubles runner-up at the French Open in 1995 (with Larsson) and the US Open in 1997
(with Jonas Bj�rkman). Kulti's best singles performance at a Grand Slam event came
at the 1992 French Open, where he reached the quarter-finals by defeating John
McEnroe, Markus Zillner, Michael Chang and Diego P�rez before being knocked-out by
Henri Leconte.[1]
Kulti was a member of the Swedish teams which won the Davis Cup in both 1997 and
1998 (partnering Bj�rkman to win doubles rubbers in the final on both occasions).
He was also on the team which finished runners-up in the Davis Cup in 1996. In the
fifth and deciding match against Frenchman Arnaud Boetsch, Kulti was a late
replacement for the injured Stefan Edberg. In a 4-hour and 46 minute thriller,
Boetsch saved three matchpoints and finally overcame Kulti, 7�6, 2�6, 4�6, 7�6,
10�8.[2]

Kulti's career-high rankings were World No. 32 in singles (in 1993), and World No.
11 in doubles (in 1997). His career prize-money totalled $3,186,946. He retired
from the professional tour in 2000. He runs the Good to Great Tennis Academy
together with Magnus Norman and Mikael Tillstr�m.
