The success, Lincou's 8th PSA Tour title, marked a magnificent comeback for the 25-year-old world No20 from Marseilles who injured his racket hand in an accident earlier in the year - then, on his return to the circuit after a four-month lay-off, reached the final of last month's Hong Kong Open unseeded!
