David Extends World
Ranking Lead
Twin Tour title triumphs last month by Nicol David have
extended the Malaysian's lead at the top of the Women's World Squash Rankings,
according to the new June list published by the Women's
International Squash Players' Association (WISPA).
The 25-year-old from Penang avenged her shock defeat by
Natalie Grainger in the final of the KL Open in March by beating the
world number two from the USA in the finals of both the Cayman Islands Open
and Texas Open - and now boasts more then twice the number of ranking
points (3,340) of her nearest rival.
Sisters Rachael Grinham, representing Australia, and
Natalie Grinham, now a Dutch national, are at three and four, respectively.
But a change in the English hierarchy sees Londoner Alison
Waters jump one place to No5 to become the highest-ranked player from
England - ahead of sixth-placed Jenny Duncalf, and Laura
Lengthorn-Massaro, who slips to eight.
Waters, 25, celebrated her second WISPA title success at the
Cannon Kirk Homes Irish Open in Dublin in April.
Victory in the Hurghada International on home soil in
April helped lift Egypt's Omneya Abdel Kawy to seventh place in the new
list.
