KUALA LUMPUR: After a five-month layoff, Nicol David is back but she is not expected to make much impact in her first Women's International Squash Players Association (WISPA) tournament this year - the Bright Lights Open in Las Vegas from March 20-23. 

The Penangite failed to defend her title in the Busan Asiad last year and went through some rough times when the Squash Rackets Association of Malaysia (SRAM) terminated the services of her personal coach Richard Glanfield.
