Heather McKay
Heather McKay won every major squash tournament she entered for 19 consecutive years, from 1962 until her retirement from the sport in 1981, reportedly losing only two matches across that entire span, a level of sustained, essentially uninterrupted dominance unmatched by any player, male or female, in the sport's history. Her 16 consecutive British Open titles, won between 1962 and 1977 before the tournament's format changed, remain the most in the tournament's history by a wide margin, and McKay's dominance during that period was considered so complete that she frequently won matches without dropping a single game. McKay later transitioned to competitive racquetball after moving to Canada, and she won multiple national and world racquetball titles in that separate sport as well, demonstrating a level of cross-racquet-sport athletic dominance that few athletes in any sport have achieved across two genuinely distinct competitive disciplines. Her nearly two-decade unbeaten run across squash's biggest tournaments is widely regarded by the sport's historians as the single most dominant individual competitive record in squash history, and McKay remains the benchmark against which subsequent great women's squash players are measured.
VS
Jahangir Khan
Jahangir Khan won 555 consecutive matches between 1981 and 1986, a winning streak across any professional sport that remains one of the longest unbeaten runs ever recorded, and it stood entirely unmatched in squash for decades after his active playing career ended. He won the World Open championship six times and the British Open, historically the sport's most prestigious title, a record 10 consecutive times between 1982 and 1991, establishing a level of sustained dominance across squash's two biggest tournaments that no player before or since has approached. Jahangir began his career against considerable odds, having survived a childhood hernia operation that doctors initially suggested might prevent him from playing competitive sport at all, and his family's deep squash pedigree — several relatives had also competed at an elite international level — shaped his rigorous early training. His combination of physical fitness, tactical patience, and an almost robotic on-court consistency made Jahangir the dominant figure in world squash throughout the 1980s, and his 555-match unbeaten streak remains the individual statistic most frequently cited when discussing the greatest sustained dominance in the sport's history.
