How have foreign entrants fared over the years?
Foreign entrants, more from Canada than from any other country, have reached the Nicholl quarterfinals and semifinals a number of times. Five Canadians have reached the finals, and two of them won after reaching the finals a second time. An Australian, a British citizen and U.S. citizens residing in Japan and New Zealand have also reached the finals (with the British citizen and the Japan resident becoming fellows). About 5.5 percent of all entries have come from countries other than the U.S.; about 4.4 percent of the Nicholl quarterfinalists submitted their entries from a foreign country.
