- While Malaysia's Nicol David extends her reign as the women's world
number one, France's Camille Serme, India's Dipika Pallikal and
England's Sarah-Jane Perry all celebrate upward movements in the March
Women's World Squash Rankings published by the Women's Squash
Association.
Serme, the seven-time French national champion from Creteil, rises a
single place to No.6 after recording quarter-final berths in last
month's Cleveland Classic in Ohio and January's Tournament of Champions
in New York.
Pallikal enjoyed a fine February on the WSA World Tour in Canada -
winning the Winnipeg Winter Club Open and reaching the final, against
expectations, of the Granite Open in Toronto. The 23-year-old from
Chennai moves up two places to No.11.
Perry, the surprise winner of the British National Championship title
last month, maintained her successful run on the WSA Tour by taking the
Granite Open crown - from the position of fourth seed. The 24-year-old
from Kenilworth returns to a career-equalling-high world No.14.
Meanwhile Raneem El Welily (Egypt), Laura Massaro (England), Nour El
Sherbini (Egypt) and Alison Waters (England) hold onto positions two to
five, respectively, in the March WSA list.
