Niclas Kroon is a former Swedish tennis player known for his contributions to the sport during the late 1980s and early 1990s. He gained some notoriety for his unique celebration gesture, the 'vicht', which involves pointing the hand back towards the player's own face. Controversy arose when Lleyton Hewitt popularized this celebration after Kroon and Mats Wilander's trademark expired, leading to a debate over the rightful ownership of the gesture.
