Nicol ends Dipika’s run

David, who would appear in the final of this event for the first time in her career, outclassed Pallikal 11-3, 11-0, 11-5 in just 22 minutes. David was in charge of the proceedings right from the start as she glided around court and gave Pallikal no chance to launch any kind of attack. 

Pallikal found some of her range in the third game but could not do anything to break David’s dominance. Malaysian Nicol David will take on England’s world no. 6 Sarah-Jane Perry, who knocked out top seed and defending champion Laura Massaro in Thursday’s semi-final.
