July WSA Rankings: Nicol David Heads Unchanged World Top 20 by Howard Harding 1 July 2014
- Malaysia's Squash Queen Nicol David is within touching distance of
her 100th month at the top of the Women's World Squash Rankings after
establishing her 96th month in a row - and her 99th of all-time - in
the July list published today by the Women's Squash Association (WSA).
The 30-year-old from
Penang, who first reached No1 in January 2006, maintains a healthy lead
of more than 1,000 points ahead of England's Laura Massaro, the
reigning World Champion who is celebrating her 16th successive month as
the world No2.
Egypt's Raneem El Welily is in third place while New Zealander Joelle King is at No4.
The highest ranking to
change in the new list is No40 - the new incumbent being Egypt's Habiba
Mohamed Ahmed Alymohmed, the 15-year-old from Alexandria who in
November became the youngest ever WSA World Tour title winner (at 14
years and 5 months) and last month won her third successive Tour final
at the inaugural Paderborn Open in Germany.
