MEN'S SEPTEMBER RANKINGS
Ashour Returns to Top Five in Men’s September
Rankings
Egyptian three-time World Champion Ramy Ashour has returned to the
world’s top five for the first time since April after the PSA Men’s
World Rankings were released today.
Ashour made a successful return from a hamstring injury during last
week’s Cathay Pacific Sun Hung Kai Financial Hong Kong Open and
powered to his first World Series title in 16 months, beating
compatriot Karim Abdel Gawad in the final.
Meanwhile, a surprise second round exit in Hong Kong wasn’t enough
to knock Ashour’s long-term rival, Mohamed ElShorbagy, off top spot,
while World Champion Gregory Gaultier stays at No.2 despite also
falling to a second round loss.
World Championship runner-up Omar Mosaad and England’s Nick Matthew
are the other players to reside in the world’s top five at No.3 and
No.4, respectively, while Gawad’s runner-up finish is rewarded with
a move up to a career-high No.6, two places higher than last month.
Marwan ElShorbagy, the younger brother of Mohamed, moves down a
place to No.7, while Miguel Angel Rodriguez’s shock first round
defeat to wildcard Tsz Fung Yip last week sees him slip to No.8.
Frenchman Mathieu Castagnet, who moves down two places to No.9, and
Ali Farag complete the top 10.
Elsewhere, Ryan Cuskelly’s impressive semi-final finish in Hong Kong
sees him rise from No.16 to a career-best No.13, swapping places
with Spain’s Borja Golan to sit behind Tarek Momen at No.11 and
Simon Rösner at No.12.
Cameron Pilley and Fares Dessouky stay at No.14 and No.15,
respectively, while Hong Kong Open semi-finalist Max Lee rises to
No.17. James Willstrop, Daryl Selby and Mazen Hesham cap off the top
20, with all three players moving up one spot after Indian No.1
Saurav Ghosal fell from No.17 to No.21.
