It took the 26-year-old world no.1 Malaysian 50 minutes to beat 6th seed Irish Madeline Perry. It was the first meeting since Perry defeated Nicol for the first time at last year’s British Open. In the final it will not be easy for Waters, who has a 14 defeat record against David – last meeting has been one week ago at the Malaysian Open, where David took it in four games after a 64-minute battle.
