MEN
Fares Dessouky will feature in the top 10 of the PSA Men’s World Rankings for the first time since November 2017 after the 26-year-old moved up three places to No.8 in the January rankings, while World Junior Champion Mostafa Asal enjoys a two-place increase to a career-high No.12.
Fares ended 2020 by coming back from two games down against World No.1 CIB Ali Farag to capture the CIB Black Ball Squash Open title last month, the biggest of his career.
Ali begins 2021 at World No.1 – just as he did in 2020 – and he is followed by Mohamed ElShorbagy, CIB Tarek Momen and CIB Karim Abdel Gawad in the top five, with Marwan ElShorbagy at No.6.
As a result of Simon Rösner’s retirement, several players have enjoyed a one-place increase to their World Ranking. CIB Mohamed Abouelghar rises to No.11, Mostafa Asal No.12, Mazen Hesham is No.14, Omar Mosaad is No.16 and Zahed Salem No.18.
