1983 Women's British Open Squash Championship

The 1983 Women's Davies & Tate British Open Squash Championships was held at the Assembly Rooms in Derby from 6–14 April 1983. The event was won for the fourth consecutive year by Vicki Cardwell (née Hoffman) who defeated Lisa Opie in a repeat of the 1982 final. Vicki Cardwell made the shock announcement that she was going to retire after the 1983 World Open. The Australian was serving a two-year team events ban in her home country following misconduct in the 1981 Women's World Open Squash Championship.[1][2]
