Allison Fisher (born February 24, 1968) is a snooker and pool player. She took the women's snooker world by storm, winning her first world title at the age of 17. To date, she has won over 80 national titles and 11 world titles in total. She even entered the Male Snooker ranking, but never progressed into the sport's upper levels. Feeling that she didn't receive the respect which the male players had, she moved to the U.S to play on the pool circuit where women receive greater respect. Fisher didn't take long to make her mark in the world of pool, winning only the second tournament that she played in. She has an unequaled record, winning 49 WPBA titles, which includes 4 world 9-Ball championships. Since her move, she has also been the highest-earning player on a number of occasions, which takes into account male and female players. Matchroom sports invited her to play in the Matchroom snooker league, and she was also invited to play in the Mosconi Cup in which she played 3 games (winning 1). Fisher was dubbed 'The Duchess of Doom' and gained similar formidability to that of the 13-time darts world champion Phil 'The Power' Taylor and snooker players Joe Davis, Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry did in the 30's, 80's, and 90's respectively. Her greatest season was the 2000/2001 season when she won 8 consecutive majors. In the 2005 season, Fisher was the highest earner when she won £111,000.
