“People have been coming up and saying how amazing it is to have won so many world cups in a row like this and all I can say that is an unbelievable feeling.” shared MacKay, who is currently ranked No.1 in world.

In her first match, MacKay disposed of Germany’s Angelika Kappen 15-4 followed by convincing victories over Melanie Soiron of France 15-9, Switzerland’s Diana Romagnoli Takouka 15-6, Sonja Tol of the Netherlands in the quarterfinals 15-12.
