PETALING JAYA: World No. 1 Nicol David is excited to compete in the Tournament of Champions (TOC) at the Grand Central Station in New York for the first time, and she believes that this opportunity was only made possible because of the US Open last year.
The US Open made a breakthrough of sorts in terms of women’s squash as it became the first ever squash tournament to have equal prize money for both the men and women - a total of US$115,000 (RM381,340). Nicol emerged champion after beating England’s Laura Massaro.
