El Welily Cuts Gap on El Sherbini in Women’s World
Rankings
Raneem El Welily's title win at the inaugural women’s El Gouna
International last week has cut the gap between her and current World
No.1 Nour El Sherbini to under 250 points after the PSA Women's World
Rankings for May were released today (May 1).
An imperious display inside the all-glass showcourt held on El Gouna’s
marina saw El Welily defeat El Sherbini 3-1 in the title decider with
the points gap between the two now at its lowest since January of this
year.
El Sherbini, El Welily and their compatriot Nour El Tayeb make up an
all-Egyptian women’s top three which, after Marwan ElShorbagy joined
older brother Mohamed and U.S. Open champion Ali Farag in the top three
of the men’s World Rankings, means that the top ranking spots in both
the men’s and women’s rankings are taken up by an Egyptian trio for the
first time in history.
New Zealand’s Joelle King is the only non-Egyptian in the top five as
she stays at No.4, a place ahead of Nouran Gohar, who remains at No.5.
The rest of the top 10 is unchanged as Camille Serme (No.6), Laura
Massaro (No.7), Sarah-Jane Perry (No.8), Nicol David (No.9) and Alison
Waters take up the final spots inside.
Hong Kong’s Annie Au stays at No.11, with Tesni Evans (No.12), Olivia
Blatchford (No.13), Joshna Chinappa (No.14) and Victoria Lust completing
an unchanged top 15.
Egypt’s Salma Hany is one of the few movers in the top 20 as she moves
up to a career-high No.16 ranking, switching places with Australia’s
Donna Urquhart, while India’s Dipika Pallikal Karthik stays at No.18.
Hong Kong’s Joey Chan moves up three places to No.19, while 17-year-old
Egyptian Hania El Hammamy - who in March 2015 became the first player
born in the 21st century to win a PSA World Tour title - rises into the
top 20 for the first time in her career.
