[edit]

Fisher grew up inSouth Elmsall, nearPontefract,West Yorkshire. She learned to play pool in her parents' pub and took up snooker when she was 13. By the age of 21, she had been ranked No. 1 for two consecutive seasons.[3]

Fisher won three successiveLadies World Snooker Championship between 1998 and 2000,[4] and won the title again in 2002 and 2003.[5][6]

In 2001, she won four successive tournaments in the ladies' divisions – the British Open, Belgian Open, LG Cup titles and the UK Championship,[7] and extended her winning streak to ten successive tournaments when she won the LG Cup in October 2002.[8]

In all, she won 45 ranking titles between 1991 and 2003.[9] From 2001 to 2003 she won fifteen consecutive tournaments in a 69-match winning streak.[9] Her break of 125 at the2003 World Women's Snooker Championship was a record at the even until surpassed in 2023.[9] She was the first woman to make a century break in the quaifying stages of theWorld Snooker Championship, a 106 againstRyan Day in2002.[9]

In 2003 Fisher won the firstIBSF World Ladies' Championship.

When the sport's governing body withdrew its support for the women's game in 2003, abandoning all major women tournaments, Fisher saw her choices as getting a full-time job or switching to nine-ball pool.[10] She chose to switch to pool and moved to the United States to play on theWomen's Professional Billiard Association (WPBA Tour),[11] joiningAllison Fisher andKaren Corr.[12]

After being in the top 10 women players for two years, and winning the San Diego Classic for three years running (2005–2007), Fisher achieved the No. 1 ranking in world women's pool in August 2008, winning the US Open Championship.[2] Since then, she has gone on to win the women's divisions in the 2009International Tournament of Champions andU.S. Open 9-Ball Championship; the 2011World Ten-ball Championship; 2012WPA Nine-ball World Championship (and WPA Player of the Year), among other titles.[2]

It seems that as long as the men's competition is okay that's what matters to the governing body. My choice now is to get a full-time job or go to America and play nine-ball pool like former world champion Allison Fisher chose to do.'

I was dominating the ladies' circuit, then it collapsed over there. We were under the governing body of the men's division, and they pulled the plug on the funding'. With the thought of moving to the U.S. in the back of her mind for a while, Fisher saw it was time to seriously consider it, stating 'I thought I would have to get a regular job or make the move to America'.
