Australia’s formidable Heather McKay swept through the field in 1976 to win the inaugural world title without dropping a game – indeed, only conceding 16 points in five matches!<\/p>\n
Oceania players dominated from then until 2003 with Kiwi Susan Devoy winning four – and Sarah Fitz-Gerald, with five, leading a group of Australian winners, including Michelle Martin, who claimed three titles.<\/p>\n
Next to dominate was Malaysian Nicol David with a record eight titles in ten years before the arrival of the Egyptians, including current holder Nour El Sherbini having four wins.<\/p>\n
