KUALA LUMPUR: Six-time world champion Datuk Nicol Ann David was on track for her maiden United States Open Squash Championship title Thursday.

Nicol will be meeting second seed and world number three Raneem El Weleily of Egypt in the final.

The 29-year old Penangite had to encounter a gruelling match which lasted for over an hour and 23 minutes against a qualifier, Joelle King of New Zealand.

“I just knew that it’s not over until it’s over. I’ve been there before and it’s just down to being determined not to let it go, not making any error and getting my momentum back.

“I did that, I’ve found my game, and I’m so pleased to win 3-2 and make the final,” the competition official website, www.usopensquash.com quoted Nicol as saying. –Bernama
