Sport Briefly / Snooker: Fisher lands another world title

Allison Fisher confirmed her status as the world's best woman snooker player by winning her seventh world professional title, and her third in a row, in New Delhi yesterday. She reeled off the final five frames to decide a contest with her third-seeded compatriot Stacey Hillyard that was closer than the 7-3 result suggested. Fisher won the final frame of the opening session to level the match at 3-3 and did not give Hillyard a chance after the resumption. 'It was the toughest final I have played in,' Fisher said.
