Having missed out initially on an automatic place for the tournament by just one place, a spot was made available after Anastasia was forced to withdraw from the competition after Dutch authorities prevented her from playing in the event because of her visa problems, but it was given to Lisa Ashton, who would go on to win the tournament.
Ashton reached the quarter finals of the 2007 Women's World Masters, beating 1996 finalist Heike Ernst of Germany in the last 16 before losing to Rilana Erades.

Ashton then won the 2008 Women's Zuiderduin Masters, beating Trina Gulliver in the final.
•
She met world number one Deta Hedman in the final 3-2 after being 2-0 behind and seeing Deta throw for the title in a match which was shown live on BBC Two in front of 2 million viewers.
•
The next year she reached the semi finals, beating Anne Kirk in the last 16 and then beat Australia's Cathy Shaw before losing to eventual winner Francis Hoenselaar.
