00:00I'm sorry for this but Nicky was more than just a mentor and a coach to me, he was a part of my family and to me and my brothers and he has helped so much and I definitely wouldn't be who I am today without him.
00:16and he passed away a few months ago and I want to ask your support and patience to give him respect and the tribute that he deserves, the legend that he is.
00:36Nicky was not just like a father to me and to my brother Jole that is just behind here and getting also emotional and my brother Marco,
00:46but he was a father to everyone in this court and also hundreds of other tennis players, you know, whether it was in Germany, whether it was in Croatia,
00:57wherever he was, whatever he touched, he turned to gold. He is the person that loves to help others, to serve others, to give others.
01:07He is the biggest Davis Cup coach in the history and what he did will never be repeated.
01:14He has won the Davis Cup five times with three different countries, with Germany, Serbia and Croatia.
01:22This is something that will never be repeated. He is an absolute legend of the game.
