He won a bronze and silver in his last three Commonwealth Games appearances and Australia's David Palmer said he wants to finish off with a gold in the Delhi-edition of the mega-event here.
34-year-old Palmer is one of the handful of squash players making his fourth successive appearance in the Commonwealth Games and the two-time world champion said he is eyeing a singles gold in Delhi to complete his medal tally.
He successfully began his 2010 campaign yesterday by beating Malawi's Julius Taulo in first round of the men's squash singles championship.
"It would be nice to finish off with gold - but it won't be easy," conceded the 34-year-old from New South Wales, who won a bronze in the Manchester Games in 2002 and secured a silver in 2006 on home soil in Melbourne.
"It hasn't been a great year for me - but Manchester gave me a big boost. I was pretty impressed with what I achieved there. It's nice to get into it here with a good win. There's a great atmosphere here. I'm healthy and fit. I hope I can continue my form this week," said the former world number one.
One of his country's most successful players of all-time, Palmer notched up ten complete years in the world top ten in August.
In the September list, he had slipped to 12 but bounced back into the top 10 this month after rediscovering his form in the British Grand Prix in England, where he reached the semi-finals against expectations.
The 2010 Commonwealth Games squash action is taking place in the impressive new Siri Fort Complex which boasts 10 glass-backed courts and a state-of-the-art all-glass showcourt boasting seating for 3,000 spectators.
"I've got a pretty tricky draw, but I want to get onto the all-glass court - it's where I like to play," added the fifth seed.
