Olivia Blatchford first rose to prominence at junior level in 2007 when she won the British Junior Open U-15 event and the United States-based player hasn't looked back since.
She joined the Tour a year previously in 2006 and won her first Tour title in 2010 at the SRC Open in May 2010.
Her first Tour 15 crown came at the Abierto Mexicano de Raquetas where she stunned Siyoli Waters in the final and her first title in Europe, and her fifth overall, was found at the Paderborn Open where she played to her number one seed ranking.
Blatchford appeared in her biggest ever PSA W70 final against legendary Malaysian, Nicol David in March 2017 at the Ciudad de Floridablanca. Blatchford reached the final after Amanda Sobhy’s event was cut short as she tore her achilles whilst on court with Blatchford in the semi-finals.
A month later, she took home her first US Nationals title, before then going on to make the quarter finals of the Oracle NetSuite Open in the same year. The young American then also reached the last eight in the Cleveland Classic, Macau Open and Carol Weymuller Open in 2018.
Blatchford Clyne then made it to the final of the Edinburgh Sports Club Open, but missed out on the title in a tough match with Hania El Hammamy. She then made it to the quarter finals of the Bahl and Gaynor Cincinnati Cup before then taking her only title of the 2018-19 season at the Calgary CFO Consulting Services PSA Women’s Squash Week.
