Women's May Rankings
Sobhy Breaks Back Into Top 10 in PSA Women’s World
Rankings
United States No.1 Amanda Sobhy has risen four places to sit at World
No.8 after the PSA Women’s World Rankings for May were released today
(May 1).
Sobhy, the 25-year-old Harvard-graduate from Boston, last week reached
her first PSA World Tour Platinum semi-final since rupturing her
achilles in March 2017, with a run to the last four of the El Gouna
International Squash Open.
Sobhy, who beat World No.3 Nour El Tayeb and World No.10 Laura Massaro
en route to the semis, has returned to the top 10 after a two-month
absence.
Meanwhile, El Gouna International champion Raneem El Welily remains at
World No.1 for a sixth successive month ahead of World No.2 Nour El
Sherbini. El Tayeb stays at No.3 ahead of France’s Camille Serme, who
has cut the gap on the Egyptian to just 20 points. New Zealand’s Joelle
King rounds off the top five.
England’s Sarah-Jane Perry stays at No.6 ahead of El Gouna runner-up
Nouran Gohar. Wales’ Tesni Evans drops to No.9, while England’s Massaro
drops two spots to No.10, her lowest ranking since May 2008.
Hong Kong’s Annie Au drops a spot to No.11, while Alison Waters falls
two places to No.12. England’s Victoria Lust stays at No.13, with
Egypt’s Salma Hany (No.14) and India’s Joshna Chinappa completing the
top 15.
Yathreb Adel rises two places to a career-high No.16 ranking to sit
ahead of fellow Egyptian Hania El Hammamy.
Malaysia’s former World No.1 Nicol David moves up a place to No.18.
David, 35, spent an unprecedented nine years atop the World Rankings
between 2006-2015 and will make her final appearance in the rankings
this month as she brings a trophy-laden career to a close at the Allam
British Open between May 20-26.
Hong Kong’s Joey Chan drops two places to No.19, while America’s Olivia
Blatchford Clyne completes the top 20.
