Laura Massaro: 'The best woman won'

England's squash silver medallist Laura Massaro concedes that she did not deserve to beat Nicol David in this afternoon's final.

England's squash silver medallist Laura Massaro has admitted that Nicol David was too good for her following the straight-games defeat in this afternoon's final.

The 30-year-old had to settle for second on the podium after losing 12-10 11-2 11-5 to the Malaysia ace, who retained her Commonwealth Games title following a gold in Delhi four years ago.

"My reaction is disappointment," she told BBC Sport. "You want to go into these finals for the gold. Nicol's a champion - I have a lot of confidence when I play her but when she plays a game like that it's very difficult to break her down."

However, England's men are guaranteed a gold in their singles event as Nick Matthew will contest this afternoon's final with compatriot James Willstrop.
