Marwan Marches To Career-High World Ranking

1 Jul 2014

After claiming his fourth, and biggest, career title last month by winning the VII Torneo Internacional PSA Sporta in Guatemala, Egyptian Marwan Elshorbagy has climbed to a career-high No17 in the July PSA World Squash Rankings.

The 20-year-old - the youngest man in the world top 20 - moves up three places to overtake Australian Cameron Pilley, Frenchman Mathieu Castagnet and fellow Egyptian Karim Abdel Gawad.

Elshorbagy, from Alexandria, is the only player inside the PSA Top 20 to move up the rankings in July while elsewhere South African Christo Potgieter rises a remarkable 98 places, climbing from 275 to his highest-ever ranking of 177 just two weeks after winning his first ever PSA World Tour title at the Maggie Beer South Australian Open.
