Career
Nichols, of UCLA, partnered with John Austin to win the NCAA Division One doubles championship in 1978. He competed in the main singles draw of the US Open three times, for one win, over Tom Gorman in 1978. 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.
