March PSA Rankings: Rösner Becomes Highest Ranked German Ever by Nathan Clarke March 1, 2015
- German Simon Rösner has become the highest ranked German squash
player of all time overtaking previous incumbent Hansi Wiens after
moving up to a career high World No.9 in the March PSA World Rankings.
The imposing man from Paderborn has reached the quarter-final or better
in seven of his last eight PSA World Tour events, breaking into the top
ten for the first time in November 2014, and his consistency has seen
him rewarded with further progression as he continues to build towards
the top five.
Rösner's progression means Egyptian Omar Mosaad moves up to occupy the
World No.10 position, with Spaniard Borja Golan dropping out, to ensure
heavy Egyptian presence atop the rankings – with five of the top ten
players hailing from the region.
Elsewhere in the top 20 South African Stephen have moved up to a career
high World No.15 while Max Lee also moves up one place to No.16,
equalling his best ever ranking, with Australian Cameron Pilley the
only other man to move up this month.
Egypt’s Mohamed Elshorbagy maintain his hold on the World No.1 ranking
for a fifth consecutive month, a position he’ll be hoping to strengthen
at the on-going PSA Wold Series, 2015 Windy City Open.
