“She [Serme] just played a really good match and she was just on fire in the third game. She came on strong and all her shots came in. I was working really hard out there—digging deep to make sure I win that three-one, and no doubt if I let go a little bit more in the fourth, she would have come in and who knows what would happen?” said David.
Unbeaten in Hong Kong for the last eight consecutive years—since winning her first World Championship title in Hong Kong in 2005—the 29-year-old was asked where she still finds the drive and motivation to keep working, keep training and winning. David said that it was the small improvements that she focused on.
“It’s just the game itself with so many aspects. You just keep working on the fine details of improving yourself – making sure everything counts—and also improve just 1 per cent each time in every aspect you’re just going to improve your game and improve yourself as a whole squash player. So, that’s my goal and that is my aim to be a complete squash player.
“I have a lot more to do and a lot more to go,” concluded David.
David, with six World Championship titles, will have a short rest before going to the Cayman Islands as top seed to defend her 2011 World Championship title, which starts on Dec 13.
