Egypt’s Nouran Gohar has overtaken compatriot Raneem El Welily to
move up to a career-high World No.4 in the PSA Women’s World
Rankings released today (September 1st).
The 18-year-old lifted her first World Series title last week at the
Cathay Pacific Sun Hung Kai Financial Hong Kong Open just 17 days
after being crowned the World Junior Champion for the second
successive time.
Gohar’s move to No.4 means that former World No.1 El Welily, who
suffered a second round defeat in Hong Kong, moves to No.5 in what
is her lowest World Ranking since May 2012.
World Champion Nour El Sherbini holds on to top spot, while
England’s Laura Massaro and Malaysian eight-time World Champion
Nicol David stay at No.2 and No.3, respectively.
The woman Gohar beat in the Hong Kong Open final, charismatic
American Amanda Sobhy, is rewarded for a fine week by moving up a
place to a joint career-best No.7 ranking, swapping places with
Egypt’s Omneya Abdel Kawy, who drops to No.8.
Camille Serme stays at No.6, while Alison Waters and Joshna Chinappa
both rise two places to their respective rankings of No.9 and No.10.
Egypt’s Nour El Tayeb, meanwhile, was the biggest riser in the top
20, moving from No.16 to No.12, with Emily Whitlock also on the move
to a joint career-high of No.15.
New Zealand’s Joelle King drops out of the top 10 to No.11, while
Hong Kong’s Annie Au and English duo Sarah-Jane Perry and Victoria
Lust fall to No.13, No.14 and No.16, respectively.
Elsewhere, former World No.2 Jenny Duncalf moves down two places to
No.17, with Malaysia’s Delia Arnold falling to No.18. India’s Dipika
Pallikal Karthik at No.19 and Hong Kong’s Joey Chan round off the
top 20.
