El Welily Maintains Top Slot on Women's Tour from PSA Media October 1, 2015
- Egypt’s Raneem El Welily has maintained her place as the world’s No.1
female squash player for the second consecutive month - extending her
advantage over former incumbent Nicol David after cruising to victory
during the 2015 Stars On The Bund China Open earlier this month.
El Welily is one of five Egyptians inside the top ten with every
position from No.6 to No.9 being occupied by her compatriots, with 2015
World Junior Champion Nouran Gohar becoming the latest star to join the
Egyptian ranks in the top ten. Gohar has risen by four places to occupy
the No.9 ranking courtesy of back-to-back runner-up finishes at the
China Open and Macau Open tournaments.
Laura Massaro, who beat Gohar in the Macau Open final, has risen two
places to return to World No.3 while NetSuite Open winner Amanda Sobhy
is the biggest mover inside the top twenty, rising eight places to
occupy the No.11 position.
