Laura Massaro wins historic Women's World Squash Championship in Malaysia
WORLD No2 Laura Massaro become the first Englishwoman to win the world title for 15 years after beating Egyptian Nour El Sherbini in the Women's World Squash Championship in Malaysia.
The 30-year-old is the first Englishwoman to hold both the British Open and World Championship titles simultaneously - and after Nick Matthew's triumph in the men's championship in November, England now boast both men's and women's world squash champions for the first time
Massaro, who won 11-7, 9-11, 11-6, 5-11, 11-9, said: "I was really nervous. I've never really felt this nervous. It was probably because I didn't want the opportunity to slip away."
