Women's April Rankings
El Sherbini Closes Gap on El Welily at the Top of
Women’s World Rankings
Nour El Sherbini’s title win at the 2018-2019 PSA World Championships in
Chicago last month has cut the gap between her and the current World
No.1 Raneem El Welily to under 200 points after the PSA Women’s World
Rankings for April were released today (April 1).
An impressive display inside the all-glass showcourt held in Chicago’s
Union Station saw El Sherbini defeat fellow Egyptian El Tayeb in the
title decider to claim her third World Championship crown.
El Welily keeps her place at the top of the World Rankings following her
win at the inaugural women’s Black Ball Squash Open held in Cairo, Egypt
- where she beat El Sherbini in the final - while compatriot El Tayeb
remains at No.3 to complete an all-Egyptian top three for the second
consecutive month.
France’s Camille Serme (No.4) and New Zealand’s Joelle King (No.5)
complete an unchanged women’s top five.
England’s Sarah-Jane Perry, meanwhile, remains at No.6, while Egypt’s
Nouran Gohar (No.7) and England’s Laura Massaro (No.8) swap places.
Welshwoman Tesni Evans rises back to a joint career-high of No.9, with
England’s Alison Waters completing the top 10.
United States’ No.1 Amanda Sobhy rises one place to No.12 following her
win at the Texas Open yesterday, which saw the American claim her
biggest PSA title to date. Her opponent in the final, England’s Victoria
Lust, also rises a place to No.13, with Hong Kong’s Annie Au (No.11),
Egypt’s Salma Hany (No.14) and India’s Joshna Chinappa (No.15) all
occupying the other spots in the top 15.
Elsewhere, Malaysia’s eight-time World Champion Nicol David rises two
places to come back into the top 20 at No.19 with Egypt’s Hania El
Hammamy (No.16), Hong Kong’s Joey Chan (No.17), Egypt’s Yathreb Adel
(No.18) and America’s Olivia Blatchford Clyne (No.20) completing the top
20.
