Darwish Heads Egyptian Trio In World Top
Four Rankings
Karim Darwish
maintains his grip on the world number one
ranking – and still heads a trio of fellow Egyptians in the top four of the
Dunlop PSA Men's World Squash Rankings, according to the new July list
published by the Professional Squash Association.
The 27-year-old from Cairo
moves into his seventh month at the top of the world, ahead of Frenchman
Gregory Gaultier who holds onto his career-best position of number two.
Ramy Ashour,
the 21-year-old World Open champion from Cairo, is in third place - with
former world number one and three-time world champion Amr Shabana at No4.
Frenchman Thierry Lincou,
the highest-ranked player in action on the PSA World Tour in June,
celebrated his return to the Indian Ocean island of his birth when he won the
Internationaux de la Reunion on Reunion Island, thereby strengthening
his hold on eighth place in the world rankings.
The highest riser in the
new top 20 is Laurens Jan Anjema, the Dutchman who leaps three places to No15
after reaching the 3-star Reunion Island event final.
But Egyptian teenager
Mohamed El Shorbagy is the only player to record a career-high ranking in
the top 20 – moving up two places to a best-ever No17.
The Pakistan 'pecking
order' also changes in the new list as Farhan Mehboob, a 20-year-old from
Peshawar, overtakes his cousin Aamir Atlas Khan to claim 18th position –
thus becoming the country's highest-ranked player.
