Aisling Blake

Aisling Blake has done her best for women's squash both on and off the court and has proved an integral part of the Tour since she joined in 2001.

In 2011 she was elected onto the board of the International Women's Squash Association as the players' representative and, at the start of 2013, was named as the president of the association.

2013 was arguably one of Blake's greatest years within the sport. After helping her country into the final of the European Squash Championships final in 2012, she went on to win the Irish Nationals title for the first time.

That title saw her awarded The Irish Times Sportswoman of the Month for March 2013.

Dublin-born Blake has struggled for Tour titles in recent years but a quarter-final finish at the Courtcare Open in May 2015 was a reminder that Blake is a dangerous opponent.
