GENERAL : Rachael has a great pedigree as a squash player. Winner of the World Junior title in 1993 aged 16, she had an opportunity to defend in 1995, but was beaten by Jade Wilson (New Zealand) in the final. Since joining the WISPA World Tour during 1994, her array of strokes and strong temperament initially took her steadily towards the top 20, a barrier she finally breached in the middle of 1997. At the Commonwealth Games in 1998 her partnership with Robyn Cooper brought them a silver medal in the Women's Doubles.

A family final finally first happened in 2001 when in Malaysia in February she beat sister Natalie in a WISPA Tour final.

She has based herself in Cairo for a few years and it has proved to be a great place in which she could hone her game. She may be slight in stature, but there is no doubting her tenaciousness, which saw her become world number one in August 2004.
