WOMEN'S FEBRUARY RANKINGS
Serme Secures Career High No.2 Position In
February Rankings
Camille Serme's victory in January's J.P. Morgan Tournament of
Champions, her second consecutive PSA World Series event win, has
catapulted her up two places to a career high World No.2 on the
February PSA Women's World Rankings released today February 1.
Serme, who also won the U.S. Open in October, moves ahead of
Egyptian pair Nouran Gohar - whom she replaces at No.2 - and Raneem
El Welily to sit just over 400 points behind World No.1 Nour El
Sherbini, the player she beat in the U.S Open final and Tournament
of Champions semi-final.
"It means a lot for me to be number two in the world," said the
27-year-old Frenchwoman.
"It's my highest ever ranking so I'm excited by that because it
takes me one step closer to my ultimate dream. But I know the road
is still long and the last step is always the hardest.
"After losing first round in Al Ahram last September, my coach and I
knew that we had to go back and work on improvements that needed to
be made in training and really focus on it. I want to keep working
hard and improving my game to get closer to that dream."
England's Sarah-Jane Perry also moves up to a career high ranking
this month as she breaks the top ten for the first time in her
career. The 26-year-old moves up three positions to No.8 after a
string of impressive performances took her to a maiden World Series
semi-final in New York, becoming the second highest ranked
Englishwoman on the standings behind World No.5 Laura Massaro.
Egypt's Salma Hany Ibrahim moves up eight places to occupy the No.20
spot - marking her first appearance inside the top twenty since 2015
- with Nour El Tayeb, one of a total of six Egyptian in the top
twenty, rising two places to No.13.
