Olivia Weaver - Bio
Olivia Weaver has cemented her position inside the world's top ten over the last year, and is part of the strongest American quartet the sport has ever seen.
The young star from the States made the quarter finals of the Nash Cup in 2018, only the third main draw she had ever made. She then won the Rhode Island Open, before making the quarters of both the Monte-Carlo Classic and London Open.
After a runner-up finish at the Remeo Ladies Open, her last tournament of 2018, Weaver then made the quarter finals of five of her next six tournaments, before finishing runner-up at the Richmond Open.
The 2019 British Open saw Weaver make it to the second round, her best performances in a Platinum event to date, and in doing so, she broke into the top 40 in the World Rankings for the first time in her career.
She made it to the last 16 on home soil at the Oracle NetSuite Open in San Francisco. After suffering a few early round defeats in major tournaments, Weaver won the Challenger 10 level E.M. Noll Classic, before finishing runner-up to Hollie Naughton at the Racquet Club Pro-Series. She also made it to the last four of the Calgary CFO Consulting Services Women’s Squash Week.
Weaver started 2021 well, by making the last 16 of a Platinum event for the first time, at the CIB PSA Black Ball Squash Open. She then repeated that feat at the El Gouna International Squash Open before making it to the semi-finals of the Squash on Fire Open in Washington, D.C.
After reaching the third round of both the PSA World Championships and Oracle NetSuite Open, her great form on home soil continued, as she had her breakthrough tournament, reaching the semis of the Platinum level U.S. Open presented by Truist, despite being unseeded for the tournament. That result pushed her towards a highest World Ranking of World No.11 come the start of 2022.
She then broke into the world’s top ten for the first time in March of that year, ahead of making it into the quarter finals of the Allam British Open. That was followed by a victory at the Oxford Properties Canadian Open - Presented by AirSprint Private Aviation, and a semi-final result at the J.P. Morgan Tournament of Champions, where she saved match ball on two consecutive days to make it into the last four.
The American started the 2022-2023 season with back-to-back quarter final appearances, doing so at the South Western Women’s Open and the CIB Egyptian Open. She also made it to the last eight of the Grasshopper Cup, before finishing the year with a runners-up finish at the Malaysian Squash Open Championships, where she lost out to Belgium’s Nele Gilis in the final.
Weaver reached three finals in the latter part of the 2022-2023 campaign, winning two titles. She finished runner-up at the Carol Weymuller Open, before taking victory at both the DAC Pro Squash Classic and the Chestnut Hill Classic, the latter being in her home club in Philadelphia. The wins helped her to a career-high of World No.7 in March of 2023 and she has become a consistent member of the world’s top ten.
