It's 50
not out for Nicol
 Malaysia's
Nicol David reaches her 50th month as world number
one, according to the June Women's World Squash Rankings.
The 26-year-old from Penang first hit the top spot in
January 2006 - then began her current uninterrupted reign as
world number one from August in the same year.
With 44 WISPA Tour titles to her credit, Nicol David now
boasts the longest run at the top of the world rankings
since New Zealander Susan Devoy dominated the women's game
from the mid 80s to the early 90s.
England's Jenny Duncalf is at two in the new list -
ahead of Grinham sisters Rachael, who rises to three,
and Natalie, who slips to four.
But two southern hemisphere players have much to celebrate
in the June rankings: Australia's Donna Urquhart
jumps three places to a career-high No16 to consolidate her
status as her country's third highest-ranked player.
The 23-year-old left-hander from New South Wales has won
four Tour titles and reached her ninth final at the
Chairman's Cup in Hong Kong in January.
And Joelle King doubles New Zealand interest in the
top 20 by making her debut in the elite group. The
21-year-old from Cambridge has exceeded expectations in all
four WISPA Tour events in which she has competed this year -
and, unseeded, secured her fifth title at the Texas Open in
the USA in April after beating top seed Rachael Grinham in
the final! |
