David tops El Weleily for 8th world crown

NICOL David extended her record of world titles to eight on Saturday when she saved four match points to overcome third-seeded Egyptian Raneem El Weleily, 5-11, 11-8 7-11, 14-12, 11-5.

David, who has already achieved a record 100 consecutive months as world No. 1, was 6-10 down in the fourth game with the home crowd anticipating victory in Cairo. But the 31-year-old Malaysian star dug deep to reclaim the title she lost earlier this year to England’s Laura Massaro before her home crowd in Penang in March.
