PETALING JAYA: World No. 1 Nicol David will have two months to sharpen her game in preparation for a grudge match against Egyptian world No. 2 Raneem El Welily.

The 31-year-old Nicol was outplayed by Raneem in four sets at the Windy City Open final in Chicago, the United States, last week. It was sweet revenge for the Egyptian following her World Championship final loss to Nicol in Egypt last year.
