Fresh from her successful Irish Senior Nationals title defence, Hannah Craig is now back home in Canada preparing for next week’s Calgary Open.
Ahead of her latest PSA World Events tournament, the women’s No.64 chatted with Squash Ireland to promote the Sport Ireland Women In Sport (WIS) Week, which is running from March 2nd to March 8th.
An in-depth interview will be published this weekend. She also took the On The T, the Squash Ireland quickfire Q&A:
First squash memory: I would say playing with my family, my two brothers, my dad and my mum at the rugby club, Harlequins.
Favourite shot: I’m old school, I’ll say straight drive. A nice, tight straight drive.
Favourite court: Indian Open. I played that in November. It was in front of what looked like a palace, a nice outdoor glass court.
Best squash moment: I would say winning the national title with the Harvard team during my junior year.
Toughest opponent: Sabrina Sobhy. Just unbelievable shot quality.
What do you love most about squash: I love just how fast-paced it is and how you have to make decisions very quickly as well.
Biggest squash influence: That’s a tough question. There are too many. I would say my brother Michael. Just always looked up to him since I was young. Yeah, I love the way he plays and his attitude.
Pre-match meal: Salmon and white rice.
Racket type: Harrow Vapor 110.
What does representing Ireland mean: It means passion and a fighting Irish spirit.
