Nicol claims her record sixth world title in emphatic style
Monday November 7, 2011
ROTTERDAM: Nicol David created history by winning her sixth world title in emphatic fashion at the Luxor Theatre here yesterday with the promise of more to come.
The undisputed queen of world squash was in devastating form as she pulverised long-time rival and world No. 2 Jenny Duncalf of England 11-2, 11-5, 11-0 in just 29 minutes in the final of the World Open.
It was a perfect six for Nicol – six wins from six finals at the world meet, making her the most successful woman player in the history of the game.

The triumph is the latest narrative in the storied life of Malaysia’s greatest sports star. The 28-year-old Nicol, who turned pro in 2000, won her other world titles in Hong Kong (2005), Belfast, Northern Ireland (2006), Manchester (2008), Amsterdam (2009) and Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, last year.
The world crown yesterday was also Nicol’s 56th Wispa title and ninth of the year.
It was her 27th win over Duncalf in 29 meetings. Nicol received US$21,188 while Duncalf pocketed US$13,656.
Nicol, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame on Saturday for her outstanding accomplishments, got off to a flying start in the first set winning 11-2 in just nine minutes.
Nicol David celebrates with her trophy after winning the final squash match against England's Jenny Duncalf during the World Open, at the Luxor Theater in Rotterdam on Sunday.Duncalf, featuring in her first final, was out of sorts and completely outplayed in every aspect of the game.
In the second set, Nicol playing in her 10th world meet, took a comfortable 8-3 lead before dropping just two points to seal victory.
A deflated Duncalf just melted under Nicol’s relentless attack and meekly surrendered the third 11-0.
An elated Nicol said she didn’t quite know how to describe her joy in winning her record sixth world title.
“Winning the crown is a huge thing for Malaysia as we don’t have many world champions in sports,” said Nicol, whose parents Desmond and Mary Ann were in Rotterdam to watch their daughter make history.
“I’m really happy to repay my fellow Malaysians for all their support by winning the world title for them.
“My only wish now is to play in the Olympics. I would happily trade my six world titles for the sport to be included in the Olympic Games,” said Nicol, adding that she wasn’t done winning titles yet - not by a long shot.
A disheartened Duncalf said that she had been totally outclassed by Nicol.
“I was hoping to win the final as an early birthday present but it was not to be,” said Duncalf, who turns 29 on Thursday.
In the men’s competition, world No. 1 Nick Matthew of England retained the world title after coming back from a set down to beat sixth seed Gregory Gaultier of France 6-11, 11-9, 11-6, 11-5 in the final.
Matthew received US$26,220 for his efforts while Gaultier took home US$16,388.
