Frederik Løchte Nielsen (born August 27, 1983 in Kongens Lyngby ) is a Danish tennis player .

Career

Nielsen plays both singles and doubles at the ATP level . He celebrated greater success on the Challenger Tour , on which he already collected 25 titles. Without exception, he won these with mostly different partners in doubles. His greatest successes in the individual were reaching two Challenger Finals (2008 in Dublin and 2010 in Loughborough ) as well as the successful qualification for the Australian Open 2012 , where he was eliminated in the first round against Kevin Anderson .

At Wimbledon he moved to the semi-finals of the doubles competition with Jonathan Marray , where they defeated the defending champions Bob and Mike Bryan in four sets. In the final, they were able to beat the team Robert Lindstedt and Horia Tecau in a close game over five sets. Thus, they were the first with a wildcard equipped player to win the doubles competition at Wimbledon. This success brought Nielsen to 24th place in the double world rankings. Nielsen also became the first Dane to qualify for the doubles competition of the season finals, where he reached the semifinals with Jonathan Marray. At the same time, Nielsen became the first Danish Grand Slam title holder of the Open Era . Only his grandfather Kurt Nielsen won a mixed Grand Slam at the US Open in 1957, but failed twice in the individual finals at Wimbledon .

In the following two seasons, Nielsen reached two more finals on the World Tour with Johan Brunström and won the tournament in Chennai . On April 1, 2013, he reached 17th place, his highest position in the world rankings. In September 2014 he dropped out of the Top 100 and from then on he played increasingly on the Challenger Tour.
