RIP Nick Bollettieri

At the grand age of 91, Nick Bollettieri has passed away. An amazing and 'pioneering' US tennis coach, a big character, working with a lot of the big names, but also a whole load of kids. There are lots of great tributes out there to him, not only for his coaching but also for being a good guy.
