In his last-16 match, Fisher held Bob Chaperon to 2–3 but eventually lost 2–5. He earned £4,500 prize money and two ranking points from the tournament. With these his only full ranking points in the two years that counted for rankings, he improved his ranking position to 58th in the Snooker world rankings 1988/1989.[1][5]
In the 1990 Grand Prix, Fisher defeated six-time World Champion Ray Reardon 5–4 in one of Reardon's final matches; the latter would retire from the game at the end of the season.[6][7] Fisher lost his next match 3–5 to Joe O'Boye.[4]
Fisher began the 1994–95 snooker season ranked 247th, and lost 1–5 in qualifying for the 1995 World Championship to Matthew McGrotty.[1] The last of his three victories that season came in the 1995 British Open, where he eliminated Huseyin Hursid 5–1, but lost his next match 0–5 to Amrik Cheema.[4]
Fisher did not play at competitive level again;[4] ranked 443rd, he was relegated from the tour in 1997.[8]
