Georgina Kennedy is one of the brightest talents on the World Tour and has broken into the top 10 following an outstanding couple of years post-COVID. She won the 2024 Manchester Open in May, beating Nour El Tayeb of Egypt in the final of the World Tour Silver event. Earlier the year, Kennedy also reached the semi-finals in two Platinum tournaments – the Windy City Open in February and El Gouna International in April. She is also the current British champion after beating Sarah-Jane Perry in the final in August. After reaching several semi-finals and the final at the 2nd Tourney International du Val de Marne, the Englishwoman took a four-year break to study at Harvard University, and when she came back in 2021, she was unstoppable. In February 2021, she ranked 167th in the world and seven months later in September, she won the Scottish Open. Then, ranked 51st in the world, Kennedy reached her first World Tour final in October, losing 3-0 to world No.2 Gohar in the DAC Pro Squash Classic. In June 2022, Kennedy was nominated for the PSA World Tour Women's Player of the Season, having risen from world No.170 to break into the top 10 in April 2022 as she won her first PSA World Tour Silver event, Cleveland Classic in February and reached the last 16 of four Platinum tournaments and the World Championships.
