PETALING JAYA: The curtains came down on Malaysia’s eight-time world champion Nicol David at the British Open squash championships in Hull, England. The 35-year-old had wanted to call it a day at the prestigious British Open, one of her favourite tournaments and in which she has won five times. Nicol announced in February that she will retire when the 2018-2019 Professional Squash Association (PSA) season ends and the second-round exit in the British Open marked the end of her glittering career. She won a record eight world titles, 81 PSA titles and held the world No. But despite her grief, the Penangite displayed fortitude to overcome the 32-year-old Moverley, who incidently, was playing the last match of her career.
