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 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 have been produced monthly then weekly since the 29th of August 2022. [1] The current world number one is Nouran Gohar of Egypt, who replaced Nour El Sherbini in June 2023.

Contents

The WISPA, the WSA and the PSA has used a computerized system for determining the rankings since April 1984.

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.

The total number of points a player has earned in the previous 52 weeks is divided by the number of tournaments played (a minimum divisor of ten is used) to give a ranking average. Where a player has played more than 11 tournaments the best scores are selected (i.e. the lowest are not included) according to the averaging formula (see table below).

For example, a player who has competed in 16 events will have his best 12 scores used. These will be accumulated and divided by 12.

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.
