KUALA LUMPUR: It will be an all-Egyptian final after world No. 1 Nicol David’s hopes of making every CIMB Malaysian Open final since 2003 went up in smoke at the Nu Sentral mall on Friday. 

Eight-time winner Nicol had no reply to an extremely sharp Raneem El Weleily as she blew a one-set advantage to lose 11-7, 6-11, 8-11, 11-13.
