Massaro Closes Gap On Top Spot In June
Rankings
May has wrought some big changes in the WSA World
Tour rankings with movement in six of the Top10 positions.
After becoming the first home-winner of the British Open in
12-years last weekend, Laura Massaro has reinforced her position
as world No.2 having beaten close rival Raneem El Weleily in the
semi-final. The Englishwoman also closes the gap further on Nicol
David after beating the world No.1 in the final of the World Series
event.
The biggest Top10 rise comes from the experienced Madeline Perry
of Ireland who, after clinching the WSA Tour Silver Texas Open at
the beginning of the month, has risen back inside the Top10 to number
eight.
Nour El Sherbini, runner-up in the British Open in 2012, see’s
her point-average drop after the young Egyptian failed to reach the
quarter-finals of this years event. As a result, the 17-year-old drops
six places to No.11 in the rankings, allowing Joelle King, Low
Wee Wern, Jenny Duncalf and Natalie Grinham to each
move a place higher.
Kasey Brown also re-enters the Top10 for the first time since
September, having reached the British Open quarters, whilst Camille
Serme’s disappointing loss to unseeded Nour El Tayeb has seen
the Frenchwoman drop three places to twelfth. El Tayeb’s performance
last week has earned the Egyptian a four-place leap to No.19, holding a
sub-20 ranking for the first time since April 2012.
Line Hansen sees a career high of 21 this month, Nicolette
Fernandes continues her climb up the rankings with a two-place rise
to reach a career high of No.26, whilst Siyoli Waters and
Megan Craig also broke personal bests of No.34 and No.46
respectively. Misaki Kobayashi also rises six places to No.36,
her highest ranking since October 2012.
