Laura Massaro is one of England's greatest squash players of all time. She began her glittering career in 2000, breaking into the world's top 50 two years later, and lifting her first Tour title in 2005 at the German Open. She quickly ranked within the world top 20 lifting the Wolverhampton Open in both 2006 and 2007, climbing into the top ten in the World Rankings in 2008 before lifting the Monte Carlo Classic title. In 2011, she beat Malaysian superstar Nicol David to secure the win at the Cleveland Classic, as well as taking her first World Series event at the US Open - finishing the year as World No.3. Having lost the 2012 World Championship final to Nicol David, Massaro bounced back to claim the KL Open title in early 2013 before becoming the first British woman since 1991 to secure the British Open crown. Massaro lifted her 15th Tour title in March 2014, later in the year winning the World Championships in Penang - making history by becoming the first Englishwoman to hold both major titles. Two silver medals followed for Massaro at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. Massaro had a hugely successful finish to 2015, capturing several PSA World Tour titles, including the Macau Open. She also won back-to-back World Series events in the autumn of 2015, securing the US Open title and the Qatar Classic. She went on to reach the final of the Hong Kong Open, Massaro became the new Women’s World No.1 for the first time in her career at the start of 2016. The rest of the year saw World Championship defeat followed by wins at the China Open and NetSuite Open, as well as becoming the first Englishwoman to win the PSA Dubai World Series Finals. Massaro began 2017 in strong form, winning the 2017 British Open - the first Englishwoman since Janet Morgan in 1951 to lift the prestigious British Open title twice. She then successfully defended her PSA Dubai World Series Finals crown in 2017, before winning the Monte Carlo Classic to round out 2018. She retired in the British Open in Hull in 2019, ranked No.10 in the world, giving her an unbroken run of 11 years in the world top ten.
