Smashing start from Nicol at World Series Finals in Dubai

PETALING JAYA: World No. 5 Nicol David’s bid to end the season on a high got off to a great start at the World Series Finals in Dubai.

Playing in front of the iconic Burj Khalifa – the world’s tallest building – and adopting the shorter best-of-three format certainly got the best out of Nicol as she powered to an 11-6, 13-11 win over American Amanda Sobhy in Group A on Tuesday.
