Rodriguez Returns To Top Ten In Historic June PSA
World Rankings
Following his historic win at last month’s Allam British Open where he
became the first South American player ever to win a prestigious PSA
World Series title, Colombia’s Miguel Angel Rodriguez has risen eight
places to World No.6 as part of a history-making top ten on the men's
June PSA World Rankings.
The 32-year-old from Bogota toppled tournament top seed Mohamed
ElShorbagy in Hull to lift the prestigious British Open and now sits
just two places below his career high of World No.4 - recorded in 2015.
Despite his defeat in the final however, ElShorbagy maintains his
position at the summit of the World Rankings ahead of Ali Farag (No.2),
younger brother Marwan (No.3) and Tarek Momen, who moves up to a
career-high No.4 ranking - marking the first time in history that
Egyptian players have taken the first four spots on the men’s rankings.
Tournament of Champions winner Simon Rösner also enjoys a move up to a
career-best ranking as he rises a spot to become the first German player
in history to reach the world’s top five.
Meanwhile, Rösner’s compatriot, Raphael Kandra, has risen 14 places to a
career-high No.23 ranking courtesy of a breathtaking run at the British
Open which saw him battle through qualifying before shocking the likes
of three-time World Champion Nick Matthew and Marwan ElShorbagy en route
to a maiden World Series semi-final.
Elsewhere, Frenchman Gregory Gaultier has dropped out of the top five
for the first time since October 2011, with the 35-year-old falling
three places to No.7, which is his lowest ranking for almost 12 years.
Egyptian duo Karim Abdel Gawad and Ramy Ashour also move down to No.8
and No.9, respectively, while New Zealand’s Paul Coll remains at No.10.
Peru’s Diego Elias and India’s Saurav Ghosal both move up a place to
claim respective rankings of No.11 and No.12, while England’s Nick
Matthew drops to No.13 ahead of his final ever tournament at next week’s
ATCO PSA Dubai World Series Finals.
Egypt’s Mohamed Abouelghar falls five places to No.14 while his
compatriot Omar Mosaad rises two places to take the last place inside
the top 15.
Australia’s Ryan Cuskelly remains in No.16 ahead of English pair Daryl
Selby (No.17) and James Willstrop (No.18), while Switzerland’s Nicolas
Mueller and Hong Kong’s Max Lee complete the top 20.
