Career
Nichols, of UCLA, partnered with John Austin to win the NCAA Division One doubles championship in 1978.[2] He competed in the main singles draw of the US Open three times, for one win, over Tom Gorman in 1978.[3] In the doubles, Nichols (with David Graham) made the third round of the US Open in 1981 and narrowly missed out on a spot in the quarter-finals, losing to John Newcombe and Fred Stolle in five sets.[3] It was in doubles that he had most of his success on tour, winning the Lagos Open in 1980 and finishing runner-up at both South Orange and Bogota the previous year.[3]
