Doha, November 1, 2008 - Defending champion and WISPA world number one Nicol David of Malaysia convincingly retained her Qatar Classic title defeating Natalie Grinham in Friday's final at the Khalifa Tennis and Squash Complex.
The 25-year-old ace, David, extended her unbeaten run of 53 matches with a flawless straight games win 11-6, 11-3, 11-9 in 29 minutes over the Dutch Grinham in $82,000 women's event.
"Everything came in well today, it was important to keep the momentum," said the Malaysian. "I felt confident with my shots and kept it simple, but sharp," revealed the three-time world champion.

David has been the dominant force in women’s squash since winning the first of her successive World Opens in 2005. However, the Penang-based star was a bit cautious after the semifinal match against Natalie Grainger, where she was made work really hard for a 3-1 victory.
"I took my chances earlier today, and kept the pressure on her (Natalie), didn’t wanted to do like what I done yesterday (Thursday) for a fightback," explained the WISPA 2008 player of the year.

World champion, David will be leading the 2009 WISPA Calendar which was launched on Wednesday by the Women's International Squash Players' Association
