Relaxed Nicol looking to bounce back at British Open


Malaysia's No. 1 women's squash player Nicol David attending the Laureus Sports Awards in Kuala Lumpur in March, will be hoping to win another British Open title when the tournament begins on Tuesday.

LONDON (AFP): World No. 1 Nicol David could hardly be more fortunate than to have the British Open as her restart event this week after the trauma of losing the world title in front of her home crowd in Penang last month.

The venerable 92-year-old British Open, which begins on Tuesday, is one of few which may not feel anti-climactic by comparison, and one of fewer still in which the pressure upon Nicol is reduced.
