- Eight-time World Champion Nicol David, the legendary Malaysian who
held the World No.1 ranking for an unprecedented nine consecutive
years, says the forthcoming 2015/16 PSA Dubai World Series Finals will
be the perfect ending to what has been a spectacular season on the PSA
World Tour.
David won the World Series Finals crown, which
sees the top eight players on the Women's Tour come together to contest
one of the most lucrative prizes in the sport, in 2011 and 2012 and
will be hoping to complete a hat trick of crowns when the competition
gets underway in front of the stunning Burj Khalifa on May 24.
"It
is a nice finale for the season to be part of the World Series Finals
and it'll be my first time ever competing in a squash tournament in
Dubai which is very exciting," said David.
"This year it
will be extra special and I'm sure it'll be a real treat for all the
players to be there playing on the glass court by the spectacular Burj
Khalifa.
"The most exciting aspect is showcasing the best of
the best 8 men and 8 women squash players altogether, battling it out
to finish off the season at the top. It'll be furious squash from the
first day during the pool matches and that will be such an attraction
for spectators - to see the best players all at once in one venue.”
David
will begin her bid to win the title for the third time against American
Amanda Sobhy before facing England’s Laura Massaro and Egyptian Nouran
Gohar in the best-of-three group stages in what promises to be an
electric five-day event.
