Thank you, dear GOAT


Nicol David has been acknowledged as the Greatest Of All Time (GOAT) female squash player with a record eight World Championship titles and being the top ranked player in the world for a total of 112 months, 109 months consecutively from (2006-2015). She will call time at the end of the 2018/2019 Professional Squash Association (PSA) season in June. Nicol announced her retirement yesterday, a week before she competes at the World Championships in Chicago, United States from Feb 23-March 2. She caught up with StarSport’s JOASH EE DE SILVA over Skype where she spelled out her retirement plans. 

Q: You said you are retiring because the hard work has taken its toll on your body. But would you also say that it is because your competitive nature doesn’t allow you to play second fiddle anymore?
