Nicol David writes about finishing the year on a high with her win at the Hong Kong Open.

Nicol and Raneem get through to the finals with a 3-1 win each.

Three Asians make the semis and Raneem fends off strong opposition from Hong Kong’s Joey Chan in five sets to fill the last berth in the final four.

The opening women’s match of the day brought exactly what the packed crowd at the Hong Kong Squash Centre wanted, a win for local favourite Annie Au.

Day six of the World Open Squash 2011 at Rotterdam’s Victoria Squash opened up with the biggest upset yet as Mexico’s Samantha Teran, seeded fifteen, beat Rachael Grinham, the Australian who was champion in 2007 and was seeded three here.

The first two matches completed saw qualifiers Lauren Selby and Tesni Evans turn in creditable performances against Rachael Grinham and Samantha Teran, both having had a good tournament and doing themselves credit in today’s openers.
