Top Five In New WISPA World Rankings
Omneya Abdel
Kawy
becomes the first Egyptian to reach the top five in the Women's World Squash
Rankings after moving up to a career-high No5 in the August list published
by the Women's International Squash Players' Association (WISPA).
The
24-year-old from Cairo claimed her seventh WISPA World Tour title at the
Hurghada International in her home country in May - when she celebrated
her 24th appearance in a Tour final, and her seventh time in a row in the climax
of the established Red Sea resort event.
Malaysia's
Nicol David moves into her fifth year at the top of the rankings after
beginning her current reign in August 2006. The 26-year-old from Penang won last
month's CIMB Singapore Masters for the fourth successive year to
celebrate the 46th Tour title of her career and her fifth WISPA Gold title of
the year.
England's
Jenny Duncalf remains at No2, ahead of Australia's Rachael Grinham at
three, and compatriot Alison Waters, runner-up to David in Singapore, in
fourth place.
Camille Serme
also celebrates a career-best ranking in the new list - moving up a single place
to No9 to become France's highest-ranked woman of all-time. The 21-year-old from
Creteil, in Paris, was a quarter-finalist in both last month's CIMB Malaysian
Open and CIMB Singapore Open.
Egypt's
Raneem El Weleily also has cause for celebration, rising to a career-high
11th place after reaching the Malaysian Open semi-finals as a qualifier.
