GEORGE TOWN: It was a tournament tailor-made for world No. 1 Nicol David to win yet another world title.

But the pressure of playing in front of her home crowd, coupled with the brilliance of 18-year-old Nour El Sherbini, finally undid Nicol’s 10-month winning streak on the Women’s Squash Association (WSA) Tour, as she crashed to a surprising 11-4, 9-11, 6-11, 11-2, 9-11 in the semi-finals of the Penang-CIMB 29th Women’s World Championship.
