Nikki Pilic has had a unique history in professional tennis. He refused to play Davis Cup for Yugoslavia in 1973- which he was suspended for. This Pilic Affair turned into the Wimbledon boycott. He then moved to Munich and became, first, coach and then captain of the German Davis Cup team. After the break up of Yugoslavia, he played for his home country, Croatia. Now, Pilic has assumed the role of Supremo on the Serbian Davis Cup squad. In the quarterfinals Serbs play Croatia. This is going to be a very political game.
