Rankings: The Terminator wins!

Egypt’s CIB Nouran Gohar has ended compatriot Nour El Sherbini’s 17-month reign as the World No.1 after the PSA Women’s World Rankings for April were released today.

Nouran has been in sensational form throughout the 2021-22 season and has won the last four PSA World Tour Platinum events in a row, including the Windy City Open  and the CIB Open @Black Ball last month.

Those wins have seen her leapfrog El Sherbini to claim the World No.1 spot for the second time in her career and for the first time since October 2020.

CIB Hania El Hammamy stays at No.3, CIB Salma Hany drops one place at No.7, while CIB Rowan Elaraby reaches a career-high ranking of No.8 after reaching her first Platinum semi at the CIB Open @BB.

Nadine Shahin remains at No.15, while Nada Abbas rises five places to reach No.16.

CIB Ali Farag stays at No2, Mohamed ElShorbagy at 3, and Mostafa Asal at 4. Former World Champion Tarek Momen drops down to No.6.

ElShorbagy’s younger brother, CIB Marwan Shorbagy, stays at No.7, while CIB Fares Dessouky moves up two spots to No.8 following his title win at the Canary Wharf Classic while CIB Mazen Hesham completes the top 10.

A runner-up finish at the Windy City Open – his first Platinum final appearance – has seen CIB Youssef Ibrahim rise six places to No.11, while former World No.1 CIB Karim Abdel Gawad rises a spot to No.12. Youssef Soliman remains at No.15 and CIB Mohamed Abouelghar falls two spots to No.16.
