Having captured the World title and held the World Number one
position, Thierry Lincou is the most successful Frenchman ever to
have played the game of squash.
In 2003 Lincou had the distinction of reaching nine successive
PSA event semi-finals, before going on to win the World title the
following year in Qatar. 2006 saw the Frenchman back to his best
capturing four PSA titles during the course of the year and
reaching the final of the British Open for the first time, when he
ended Palmer's two-year reign as Champion in the semi-finals.
Lincou again reached the final of the Dunlop British Open in
2007, losing to fellow countryman Gregory Gaultier. While the
latter half of 2007 saw Lincou endure a barren run, the Frenchman
has hit back in 2008 winning his first tournament, the EBS Dayton
Open.
