Apart from Forrest, two other women have been competing in the open section – Katherine Rednall is also through to the last-16, but Ellen Falkner was defeated in the first round. In the previous three World Indoor Bowls Championships, no women featured in the main draw of the open section. In the ladies’ singles, reigning champion Forrest lost her opening tie to Devon Cooper.

Speaking to BBC Sport following her 2019 success, Forrest said: “I am actually still shaking. I thought my legs were going to collapse. I’m ecstatic.”
