Perry Runner Up in Kuala Lumpur Open

Ireland's Madeline Perry reached the finals of the KL Open at the weekend finishing as runner up to World Number 1, Nicol David.

It was a glorious home success in the Women's WISPA World Tour Gold event in which Nicol David, the world number one from Penang, was celebrating her eighth successive appearance in the final.

The defending champion was facing surprise opponent Madeline Perry, the seventh seed from Ireland whose semi-final success over Hong Kong's Annie Au took the world No6 into the 20th Tour final of her career.

But David, spurred on by her loyal home crowd, was too strong for Perry – and took the match on a scoreline of 11-6, 11-6, 11-2.
The win marks David's seventh KL Open title since 2000 – and the 51st Tour title of her career.
