Dipika Pallikal's run at the Oracle NetSuite Open ended with a crushing semifinal defeat at the hands of Malaysia's eight-time world champion Nicol David here. David, who would appear in the final of this event for the first time in her career, outclassed Pallikal 11-3 11-0 11-5 in just 22 minutes. David was in charge of the proceedings right from the start as she glided around court and gave Pallikal no chance to launch any kind of attack.
