Allison “The Duchess of Doom” Fisher

Allison Fisher won her first World Snooker Championship when she was 17 years old, but her love of the game was ignited 10 years prior to that by the matches she watched on TV. By the time she was13 she belonged to a league and at 15 she won her first national championship, which she gives much credit to the coaching of Frank Callen.

After dominating the snooker world for the 10 years she was a pro, she decided to move to the United States from her hometown of Peacehaven, England, in 1995 with hopes of breaking into the Women’s Professional Billiards Association Pro 9-Ball Tour. She currently lives in Charlotte, NC, and has more than realized her hopes of playing on the WPBA tour. The record for the most tournament wins by any person in the sport of pool and billiards is held by Fisher, with more than 80 national titles and 11 world championships to her name, earning her the nickname The Duchess of Doom.

In addition to her busy tournament schedule, she also operates an instruction school in Charlotte. Run in conjunction with fellow WPBA player Gerda “G-Force” Hofstatter, the school is held o¬n weekends to accommodate the work schedules of those who wish to attend.

Fisher’s sponsorships and endorsements with Cuetec Cues and the American Poolplayers Association may make her one of the most recognized faces in the sport, but it is her unerring sportsmanship that makes her one of today’s most popular and well-respected players. The WPBA’s number-one-ranked player’s recent accomplishments include scoring her fiftieth Classic Tour victory by winning the U.S. Open tournament in August 2007.
