Due to strong Swedish competition, including Jörgen Persson , Jan-Ove Waldner and Mikael Appelgren , he did not appear again until 1991. Nilsson played again at the Youth World Cup, this time he won bronze in singles and doubles, and the Swede won gold with the team.
In 1993 he was allowed to take part in an adult World Cup for the first time , and was able to reach the round of 32 in singles, while he failed in doubles in the second round.
His first European Championship followed in 1994, but did not come close to medal ranks. Further appearances followed in 1998, including at the World Cup , but he lost there early. In 2000 he became European champion with the team.
