In an interview with Astro Radio News, Nicol said that accepting the truth about retiring was a difficult process, but she learnt to understand herself better.
“When you know, you know. I surely know in my gut that this is the time. My body has really pushed, mentally and physically, for the last 20 years, and I know for a fact that in the (last) one and half years, I really felt that what I have left to give is what I have right now,” she said.
Giving back to the society But the Penangite with 81 PSA titles from 102 finals, who had stayed at the world No. 1 for a record 109 months consecutively from 2006 to 2015, has her plans laid out.
