Kelly Teresa Fisher Template:Postnominals (born 25 August 1978) is an English professional pool, snooker and English billiards player, and has won world championships in all three disciplines.

Career

Fisher grew up in South Elmsall, near Pontefract, 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.[1]

Fisher won three successive Ladies World Snooker Championship between 1998 and 2000,[2] and won the title again in 2002 and 2003.[3][4]

In 2001, she won four successive tournaments in the ladies' divisions – the British Open, Belgian Open, LG Cup titles and the UK Championship,[5] and extended her winning streak to ten successive tournaments when she won the LG Cup in October 2002.[6]

In all, she won 45 ranking titles between 1991 and 2003.[7] From 2001 to 2003 she won finfteen consecutive tournaments in a 69-match winning streak.[7] Her break of 125 at the 2003 World Women's Snooker Championship was a record at the even until surpassed in 2023.[7] She was the first woman to make a century break in the quaifying stages of the World Snooker Championship, a 106 against Ryan Day in 2002.[7]

In 2003 Fisher won the first IBSF 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.[8] She chose to switch to pool and moved to the United States to play on the Women's Professional Billiard Association (WPBA Tour),[9] joining fellow former women's snooker players Allison Fisher and Karen Corr.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

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.[10] Since then, she has gone on to win the women's divisions in the 2009 International Tournament of Champions and U.S. Open 9-Ball Championship; the 2011 World Ten-ball Championship; 2012 WPA Nine-ball World Championship (and WPA Player of the Year), among other titles.[10]

As of 2024, Fisher trained the Hong Kong National Team.[11]

Fisher was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2024 New Year Honours for services to sport.[12]
