Nick Bollettieri, a well-known tennis coach, died on November 20, 2022. The Italian-American coach was 91 years old when he died.

Recently, on Saturday, November 19, 2022, Bollettieri’s daughter, Angelique Anne Bollettieri had announced on Facebook that her father was on his deathbed.

He was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2014. Bollettieri was the first white man to be inducted into the Black Tennis Hall of Fame the following year.
