Egyptians & Malaysians Share Top Spots In New World Junior Rankings
Players from Egypt and Malaysia share the No.1 positions
in the inaugural WSF & PSA World Junior Rankings revealed today
by the World Squash Federation and Professional Squash
Association.
The August U19 rankings are headed by Egyptians - Cairo 17-year-old
Mostafa Asal topping the men's list after title success in last
month's WSF World Junior Championships in Chennai, India, and
Hania El Hammamy, also 17 and from Cairo, taking the No.1 position
in the women's list after a second successive finish as runner-up in the
Women's World Junior Championship.
Both players have already made their mark on the PSA Tour - Asal
winning three Tour titles in South America in May and El Hammamy
securing her second Tour title last October at the Granite Open
in Canada.
Malaysia's Danial Nurhaqiem tops the new men's U17 rankings. The
16-year-old from Kuala Lumpur reached the second round of the men's
World Junior Championship - and went on to remain undefeated for
Malaysia in the team event.
Already with four PSA Tour titles to her name, Malaysian Aifa
Azman heads the women's U17 list. The 16-year-old from Kedah won the
Malaysian U19 Junior Open last month and in January clinched the
British Junior U17 Open title.
