Abouelghar Moves Back Inside Top 10 in October Rankings
Egypt’s Mohamed Abouelghar has returned to the top 10 of the PSA Men’s
World Rankings for the first time since May courtesy of his title win at
the J.P. Morgan China Squash Open last month.
Abouelghar, who celebrates his 25th birthday today, defeated New
Zealand’s Paul Coll in Shanghai to capture the biggest PSA Tour title of
his career and he moves up four spots to World No.9 as a result.
Abouelghar’s compatriot Mohamed ElShorbagy stays at World No.1 for an
eighth successive month ahead of Ali Farag (No.2), Marwan ElShorbagy
(No.3), Tarek Momen (No.4) and Germany’s Simon Rösner, who completes the
top five.
Colombia's Miguel Angel Rodriguez and France’s Gregory Gaultier stay at
No.6 and No.7, respectively, while Coll moves up to two places to No.8
to sit one spot ahead of Abouelghar.
2016 World Champion Karim Abdel Gawad drops two places to round off the
top 10, meaning the Egyptian is now at his lowest ranking since November
2015.
A semi-final finish in China is enough to see India’s Saurav Ghosal rise
to a career-high No.11 ranking, while 2015 World Championship runner-up
Omar Mosaad rises two spots to No.12, which is his highest ranking since
February 2017.
Peru’s Diego Elias falls two places to No.13, with Hong Kong’s Max Lee
moving up five places to No.14 after last month’s HKFC International
win. Meanwhile, three-time World Champion Ramy Ashour drops six places
to No.15.
Australia’s Ryan Cuskelly (No.16), Switzerland’s Nicolas Mueller (No.17)
and England’s James Willstrop take the next three spots, while Germany’s
Raphael Kandra and Declan James both move into the top 20 for the first
time at the expense of Englishman Daryl Selby and Australian Cameron
Pilley.
James’s title win at the Open International de Squash de Nantes has
ensured that he has become the second highest ranked English male, with
Kandra rising three places after reaching the quarter-finals in China.
