No stranger to Malaysians, this year in June will see the queen of squash hang up her racquet after nearly two decades of domination on the court. An eight time world-champion and voted the greatest female player of all-time, Datuk Nicol David spent nine years at #1 in the world - making her not just the first Malaysian to reach the pinnacle of squash but the first Asian woman to do so. What's next for the queen and what does this mean for the future landscape of local squash? Datuk Nicol reflects on the milestones in her glittering career and look forward to life outside the four walls.
