August 29, 2010 - Malaysia's world number one Nicol
David established yet another milestone in her
sensational squash career when she beat England's
Jenny Duncalf, the world No2, in today's (Sunday)
final of the $74,000 Women's Cathay Pacific Sun Hung
Kai Financial Hong Kong Open to secure her sixth
successive title triumph in the established WISPA
World Tour event, the seventh WISPA Gold
championship of the year.
The 27-year-old from Penang, whose last Tour defeat
was to Duncalf in 2009, extended her 2010 winning
run over her closest rival with an 11-6, 12-10,
12-10 victory in 40 minutes on the all-glass court
erected in the Plaza Hollywood shopping centre in
Kowloon.
"I knew that Jenny would come out fighting," the
delighted winner told www.squashsite.co.uk
afterwards. "All the other girls raise their game
against me, so I know I have to raise mine!
"I had to keep my focus, keep on playing my game
whatever.
Even at 10-7 down I know it wasn't over, that if I
kept going she might make an error or two, and
that's what happened.
"As the tournament went on my game got stronger and
stronger. Being here on the glass court always
inspires me, and since I won my first world title
here in Hong Kong I always want to do well here.
"It's so great to win here again, especially with
the worlds coming up so soon," David concluded.
The win extends David's unbeaten run to 25 Tour
matches this year - and boosts her career Tour tally
to 47 titles, including six this year!
