NICOL David’s (pic) hopes of a gold medal in what is possibly her last Commonwealth Games has ended on a sorry note.

The Malaysian squash queen couldn’t find the extra spring in her step as she was put to the sword in an 11-13, 5-11, 11-1, 5-11 semi-final defeat to New Zealand’s Joelle King at the Oxenford Studios yesterday.
