Nicol wins in Hong Kong and goes to the top
Malaysia's Nicol David capped a superb year-long run in squash by bagging the prestigious title in the World Squash Open championship in Hong Kong yesterday.
The 22-year-old lass, currently ranked third in the world, was in devastating form as she powered to 8-10, 9-2, 9-6, 9-7 win over world No. 2 Aussie Rachael Grinham to emerge as the first Malaysian, first Asian and the youngest woman world squash champion. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said: "I am very proud of Nicol's achievements." "Her excellent performance has elevated her to a sportsperson of distinction. Others should emulate her," he said.
