On a more positive note (compared to today’s other posts), our top women’s squash player - and current World No. 1 - Nicol David, has progressed to the Apawamis Open finals by beating Rachael Grinham (AUS) in the semi-finals, 9-7, 9-2, 1-9, and 9-5.

The day before, Nicol David beat Engy Kheirallah of Egypt to reach the Apawamis Open semi-finals. Her next match will be against Vanessa Atkinson of the Netherlands - who could unseat Nicol David from her World No. 1 ranking if Nicol fails to win either the Apawamis Open or the Kuala Lumpur Open on Feb 15 to 18.
