Nicol David eases into World Series final
LONDON - Seven-time world champion Nicol David (pic) eased into the title match at the World Series Squash Finals on Saturday with an 11-5, 11-8 win over France's Camille Serme.
The world number one, who won the tournament in 2012, will face England's Laura Massaro in Sunday's final in a repeat of the pair's World Open final showdown won by the Malaysian star in the Cayman Islands last month.
Massaro overcame compatriot Jenny Duncalf 6-11, 11-8, 11-9 in her semi-final.
"In our pool match, Laura was playing better on the day. She's a tough player but I just know that as the week develops you feel better and better," said Nicol, who had been surprisingly beaten by Massaro in a round-robin match on Thursday.
"I'm looking forward to playing the final and putting it all out there."
