WORLD SQUASH NEWS Lincou Moves Into Second Half Of Year As World Number One France's Thierry Lincou moves into the second half of the year as number one in the new July Dunlop PSA Men's World Squash Rankings, announced today (30 June) by the Professional Squash Association. Lincou, 29, who has held the position unopposed since January, heads an unchanged top ten list, in front of England's Lee Beachill at two; Australian David Palmer at three; and Canada's Jonathon Power at number four. England's Peter Nicol is at five, the ranking he first attained in November 1994 and has only dropped below once since that date! Lower in the list, Pakistan's Shahid Zaman leaps three places to a career-high 14 - boosted by his third PSA Tour win of the year last month when he lifted the Pakistan Circuit No2 title in Lahore. Malaysia's Mohd Azlan Iskandar, runner-up in Lahore, returns to his career-best No17 position. 1 [1] Thierry Lincou FRA 2 [2] Lee Beachill ENG 3 [3] David Palmer AUS 4 [4] Jonathon Power CAN 5 [5] Peter Nicol ENG 6 [6] Amr Shabana EGY 7 [7] Anthony Ricketts AUS 8 [8] James Willstrop ENG 9 [9] Nick Matthew ENG 10 [10] John White SCO 11 [11] Karim Darwish EGY 12 [12] Gregory Gaultier FRA 13 [13] Graham Ryding CAN 14 [17] Shahid Zaman PAK 15 [14] Joseph Kneipp AUS 16 [15] Ong Beng Hee MAS 17 [18] Mohd Azlan Iskandar MAS 18 [16] Adrian Grant ENG 19 [19] Olli Tuominen FIN 20 [20] Mohammed Abbas EGY For full list - see www.psa-squash.com/ |
