Nicol claims epic win over Lincou
England's Peter Nicol upset world
number one and top seed Thierry Lincou
in the quarter-finals of the British
Open in Manchester on Saturday.
Nicol, twice a British Open winner,
beat the Frenchman 11-6 8-11 11-7 11-7
in a 74-minute marathon encounter.
"This is the best I've played since the
English Open (in August) by a long
way," said Nicol.
"For me, playing well is more important
than winning, though I do want to win
this trophy for a third time."
