Squash England's Duncalf aims to turn tables on Malaysian
By Ronnie Oh
PENANG: Malaysia's Nicol David is the player England's Jenny Duncalf would love to beat in the World Junior Women's Squash Championships, which begin on Sunday at the Penang International Squash Centre (PISC) here.
The 18-year-old top English junior is all fired up to turn the tables on Nicol, who is the defending champion.
"It was Nicol who sent me crashing out in the last World Championships in Belgium two years ago when we met in the last 16," said the third seeded Duncalf after a workout at the competition venue yesterday.

"But it was my first World Championships.
I am better prepared now and much wiser.
"I am in the same half of the draw as Nicol and we may meet in the semi-finals. I hope to beat her this time."
However, manager and coach Annette Pilling said that it would not be an easy task for her charges in the quest for honours.
"It is going to be very tough in the individual championship.
"Both Nicol (David) and Egypt's Omneya (Abdel Kawy) are not only professionals but they are also outstanding players," said Pilling. "But I would like to see at least one of my players making the final as we have come prepared this time."
England's chances of having a player in the final are good as they have three other players in the same half of the draw as Duncalf.
Pilling added that her players should be able to play under the hot and humid conditions here because they had undergone a special one-week acclimatisation training stint using heat chambers before leaving for Malaysia.
She said that England would also be putting up a strong challenge in the team event, which begins on July 21.
"The Malaysians and the Egyptians, undoubtedly, will be our main rivals.
"Egypt beat us in the team final in the
last championship," said Pilling, who also saw strength in the Australian
and American teams.
