KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 2 (Bernama) -- Malaysia's squash queen Nicol David retained her current position as world no.1 in the Women's International Squash Players Association (Wispa) despite losing in Singapore.
Based to the Wispa official website, Nicol remains in the top position for 61st successive month since August 2007.
In this year's Wispa World Tour, Nicol continues to set the pace, winning three of the five major titles -- the CIMB Kuala Lumpur Open (March 20), Cedrus Investment Cayman Islands Open (April 9) and CIMB Malaysian Open (July 23).

The Australian Open beginning on Aug 9, will be her next assignment and it will be her first appearance in the competition.
As at Aug 1, Nicol, who will be celebrating her 28th birthday on Aug 26, has accumulated an average of 3,278.750 points, while England's Jenny Duncalf also maintained her position in second place with 1,737.059 points.
