Official Women's Squash World Ranking

Last updated

The Official Women's Squash World Ranking is the official world ranking for women's squash. The WISPA, the WSA and the PSA has used a computerized system for determining the rankings since April 1984. The ranking is to rate the performance level of female professional squash players. It is also a merit-based method used for determining entry and seeding in women's squash tournaments. The rankings were initially produced monthly; this has been changed to weekly basis effective ranking issue dated August 29, 2022. [1]

The current world number one is Nour El Sherbini of Egypt, who replaced Nouran Gohar in September 2023.

PSA ranking policy

Players competing in PSA tournaments earn ranking points according to how far they get in the draw. The points available depend on the prize money and the draw size. The weekly rankings (issued on each Monday) are used in selecting entries to tournaments and in determining the seeds.

Ranking points for each players are made up of a cumulative total consisting of the top 9 tournament results. For instance, if a player has played in 14 events over the course of the period eligible for rankings points, only their best 9 results (in terms of points earned) will count towards their ranking. [2]

Players competing in PSA World Tour Events earn ranking points according to the prize money, classification of the event, and the final position in the draw the player reaches.
