El Hammamy Breaks Top 10 in PSA Women’s World
Rankings
Egypt’s Hania El Hammamy has broken into the top 10 of the PSA
Women’s World Rankings following her run to the semi-finals of the
CIB PSA Women’s World Championship last month in front of the iconic
Great Pyramid of Giza.
19-year-old El Hammamy, the reigning World Junior Champion, came
back from two games down to stun World No.5 Camille Serme as she
reached the last four of the biggest tournament in women’s squash
before she was halted by eventual winner Nour El Sherbini.
El Sherbini, who captured her fourth World Championship trophy on
her 24th birthday last month, moves up two places to No.2 as she
sits behind runner-up Raneem El Welily, who completes a calendar
year at World No.1.
U.S. Open champion Nouran Gohar drops a spot to No.3, while Nour El
Tayeb is the other woman to feature in the top five after falling a
place to No.4.
New Zealand’s Joelle King stays at No.6, while Amanda Sobhy moves up
a place to No.7, her highest ranking since April 2017, which came a
month after she suffered a torn achilles at the Ciudad de
Floridablanca tournament in Colombia.
As a result, Sarah-Jane Perry drops a place to No.8, her lowest
ranking since October 2018, while Evans stays at No.9 ahead of El
Hammamy.
Hong Kong’s Annie Au drops out of the top 10 to No.11, while Joshna
Chinappa (No.12), Alison Waters (No.13), Salma Hany (No.14) and
Victoria Lust complete the top 15.
Yathreb Adel moves up to a joint career-high ranking of No.16, with
Olivia Blatchford Clyne rising two places to No.17. Nele Gilis stays
at No.18, while Nadine Shahin reaches a career-high ranking of
No.19. Hong Kong’s Joey Chan drops four spots as she completes the
top 20.
The biggest mover on the women’s tour is South Korea’s Mingyeong Heo,
who rises 80 places to World No.246 after reaching the Pacific
Toyota Cairns Squash International quarter-finals.
