Women's October Rankings
Serme Returns to Top Four in Women’s World Rankings as
David Exits Top 10
France’s Camille Serme has returned to the world’s top four, while
Malaysia's eight-time World Champion Nicol David has seen her 15-year
run inside the top 10 come to an end after the PSA Women's World
Rankings for October were released today (October 1).
Créteil-based Serme began her season with a runner-up finish at the J.P.
Morgan China Squash Open in September, beating World No.1 Nour El
Sherbini in the semi-finals, before falling to World No.2 Raneem El
Welily in the title decider.
Meanwhile David, who topped the World Rankings for nine uninterrupted
years between 2006-2015, has dropped two places to No.11, bringing an
end to her record 177-month unbroken run in the world’s top 10 in the
process.
Elsewhere, Egypt’s Nour El Tayeb stays at No.3, while Commonwealth Games
gold medalist Joelle King drops a place to No.5.
England’s Laura Massaro rises a place to No.6, switching places with
Egypt’s Nouran Gohar in the process, while her compatriot Sarah-Jane
Perry stays at No.8.
As a result of David's exit from the top 10, England’s Alison Waters and
Hong Kong’s Annie Au both rise into the top 10, while David is followed
by Wales’ Tesni Evans (No.12), England’s Victoria Lust (No.13), India’s
Joshna Chinappa (No.14) and Egypt’s Salma Hany, who complete the top 15.
United States No.1 Olivia Blatchford drops two places to No.16 and now
sits two spots ahead of compatriot Amanda Sobhy, with Australia’s Donna
Lobban sandwiched in between.
Egyptian teenager Hania El Hammamy moves up a place to a career-high
No.19 ranking, while England’s Emily Whitlock returns to the top 20
after a five-month absence courtesy of her Nash Cup title win in
September.
