MEN'S WORLD RANKINGS - APRIL
ElShorbagy Breaks Back Into Top Five of PSA Men's
World Rankings
Egypt’s Marwan ElShorbagy has broken back into the top five for the
first time since December 2018 after the PSA Men’s World Rankings for
April were released today (April 1).
ElShorbagy, 27, captured the third major title of his career when he
overcame defending champion Fares Dessouky in the final of the CIB PSA
Black Ball Squash Open last month in Cairo.
ElShorbagy features in the top five along with World No.1 Ali Farag, his
older brother, Mohamed (No.2), World Champion Tarek Momen (No.3) and New
Zealand’s Paul Coll (NZL), who he defeated in the quarter-finals at the
Black Ball Sporting Club.
Meanwhile, former World No.1 Karim Abdel Gawad drops out of the top five
as his issues with a heel problem continued in Cairo, while Dessouky
moves up to a career-high ranking of World No.7, with Peru’s Diego Elias
dropping a spot to No.8.
Welshman Joel Makin - a semi-finalist in Cairo - stays at No.9, while
Colombia’s Miguel Rodriguez completes the top 10.
Mohamed Abouelghar (No.11), Mostafa Asal (No.12), Saurav Ghosal (No.13),
Mazen Hesham (No.14) and Gregoire Marche (No.15) retain their rankings,
while Zahed Salem moves up two places after reaching a first PSA World
Tour Platinum quarter-final at the Black Ball Open.
Omar Mosaad and James Willstrop both fall a place to No.17 and No.18,
respectively, while Adrian Waller and Cesar Salazar round off the top
20.
The biggest mover on the men’s tour this month is 17-year-old Egyptian
Ahmed Wael. He rises 462 places to No.275 after featuring as a wildcard
at the Black Ball Open, while his fellow wildcard at that event, Ahmed
Ismail, moves up 408 places to No.267.
