Kingston upon Hull, United Kingdom: Nicol David, the squash great whose nine-year stint as world number one may never be surpassed, wants to follow the example of women’s sports pioneer Billie Jean King when her playing days are done.

Although the 33-year-old Malaysian reached the quarter-finals of the British Open on Thursday and may still challenge for titles, she has been inspired by the tennis legend who led the fight for prize money parity and campaigned for women’s rights in a wider way.
