Nicol David (MAL) wins the World Womens Open defeating Natalie Grinham in four games. Whilst Nicol was the hot favourite, it was never a done deal.   Good work.

Natalie Grinham overtakes her sister Rachael in four games to make the final. Nicol David also won her semi against Alison Waters in four games.  It is interesting to note they were both four game matches with one match taking 37mins and the other 62mins.  There has been some discussions in other posts about the PARS scoring systems.  Well, in many cases it is not so much the scoring system but the length of the rallies. Umm!

The quarter finals were well fought with Rachael and Natalie Grinham making one semi final, and Alison Waters and Nicol David the other.

My guess is Natalie and Nicol will play the finals, though it will depend a lot on the form on the day. The girls know each other's game backwards.

The World Womens is down to the last sixteen in the draw.  The matches seem to be fairly close withthe seeds coming through.  I love all the action on court pics.
