Nicol makes it to British Open squash final
Malaysia's world number one Datuk Nicol Ann David is on track for her fifth British Open Squash Championships title.
In today's semi-finals, Nicol just took 27 minutes to defeat Alison Waters of England in straight sets of 11-5, 11-4 and 11-5 at Hull and East Riding Squash Club, Hull City, East Yorkhire, England.
"It may have felt like I was in a hurry, but that's the pace Alison imposed at the beginning. It took me a few rallies to get used to the court, but after a few points, I felt okay.
"How do I cope with the pressure? I do what I have to do, I enjoy what I'm doing, and I try and give my all every single time," the competition's official website, www.britishopensquash.net/blog/ quoted Nicol as saying.
Nicol will face world number two Laura Massaro who edged world number three, Raneem El Weleily 8-11, 11-6, 11-8, 11-9 in 48 minutes in the other semifinal match.
For the record, Nicol has won the British Open four times in 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2012.
