Nicol says winning her first British Open in 2005 is what gave her the confidence that she can be the best on tour and be world No 1.

Nicol in action in her last game as a professional against Nour El Tayeb.

Earlier in February, the 35-year-old announced her retirement after the current 2018/19 Professional Squash Association season, and her favourite British Open would be her last tournament. “At the time, you just never quite know until you experience it first-hand, and as the years went by, that’s when I won my second world title and things really kicked off for me. It all really started from the British Open, I can’t believe it’s nearly been two decades,” she said after the match.

“At the moment I would love to work closely with the Women’s Tour to help the tour grow as there is so much potential to showcase. I also want to do something at home with my foundation to help more girls to venture into sports and using squash as a tool to empower more girls.
