Nicol wins Cleveland Classic


World No. 1 Nicol David will not get a chance to defend her title as there will be no Women’s World Open squash championships this year.

PETALING JAYA: Malaysian squash queen Nicol David was supreme once again as she broke apart Hong Kong's Annie Au to claim the Cleveland Classic crown Wednesday morning (Tuesday night in US).

The world No. 1, who was beaten in last year's final by Egypt's Raneem El Weleily, had no such problems against reigning Asian champion Annie at the Cleveland Racquet Club in Pepper Pike, Ohio.
