Men's January Rankings
Elias Reaches Career-High Ranking As Momen Returns to
Top Three
Peru’s Diego Elias will start 2020 at a career-high ranking of World
No.6 after the PSA Men’s World Rankings for January were released today
(January 1).
The 23-year-old moves up a place and overtakes Simon Rösner after the
German’s quarter-final points for the 2018 CIB Black Ball Squash Open
expired at the end of December.
Meanwhile, World Champion Tarek Momen returns to the world’s top three,
ousting Black Ball Open winner Gawad, who drops down a spot to No.4.
Ali Farag and Mohamed ElShorbagy complete an all-Egyptian top four, with
the former beginning the New Year as the World No.1 for the first time
in his career.
Elsewhere, the younger ElShorbagy brother, Marwan, rises a spot to No.8,
switching places with compatriot Mohamed Abouelghar. Colombia’s Miguel
Rodriguez completes the top 10.
Fares Dessouky (No.11) Joel Makin (No.12) and Saurav Ghosal (No.13) are
unchanged, while Gregoire Marche leapfrogs Zahed Salem to move back up
to a joint career-high ranking of No.14.
Omar Mosaad stays at No.16, while Mazen Hesham moves up a place to
No.17. English trio James Willstrop, Adrian Waller and Daryl Selby round
off the top 20, with Mostafa Asal dropping out.
The biggest movers on the men’s tour were Pakistani pair Noor Zaman and
Faizan Khan, who rise 232 and 194 places, respectively. Zaman has
reached a career-high ranking of No.300 after appearances at the
Pakistan International and Rangers Championship, while Khan now sits at
No.428 after he reached the last 16 of the Rangers Championship.
