Malaysia's David wins women's squash singles

World number one Nicol David of Malaysia won the Asian Games women's squash singles gold medal here Thursday beating defending champion Rebecca Chiu in the final. The 23-year-old top seed, who won the Asian title in 1998 as a 15-year-old, beat Chiu of Hong Kong 9-0, 9-3, 9-3 in a one-sided final.
David began the first game in some style, racing to a 6-0 lead in a matter of minutes and eventually securing the opener without conceding a point. Dominating the court, David forced Chiu into a succession of unforced errors with powerfully-hit strokes deep into the corners of the court and delightfully-feigned drop shots.
