Defending champion was Nicol David , who won the title again this year. In the course of the tournament she did not give a single sentence. After victories over Delia Arnold (11: 3, 11: 6, 11: 5), Nour El Sherbini (11: 7, 11: 6, 11: 7) and Kasey Brown (11: 7, 12:10, 11: 4 ) she met Natalie Grinham from the Netherlands in the semi-finals . She also won this game clearly with 11: 9, 11: 4 and 11: 6, whereby she reached the final. There Nicol David met the second seeded Englishwoman Jenny Duncalf . Duncalf had initially prevailed against Line Hansen (11: 9, 12:10, 11: 7) and Joelle King (11: 9, 7:11, 11: 1, 11: 3) before they came in fifth in the quarterfinals seeded compatriot Laura Massaro with 11: 9, 11: 7 and 11: 7 defeated. In the semifinals she defeated the Mexican Samantha Terán just as clearly with 11: 9, 11: 4 and 11: 7. In the end, Nicol David decided the final very clearly for himself. So Duncalf had no chance in the 3-0 win of David over the entire course of the game, when they dominated the game with 11: 2, 11: 5 and 11: 0. With this success Nicol David expanded her record to six world championship titles and thus became the sole record holder. Sarah Fitz-Gerald had won the world championship five times in her career. The second in the world rankings at the time, Jenny Duncalf, was in a world championship final for the first time.
