England's Kennedy Reaches Top 10 of PSA Women’s World Rankings

England’s Georgina Kennedy has reached the top 10 of the PSA Women’s World Rankings after she got the better of compatriot Sarah-Jane Perry in last night’s Cleveland Classic final.

London-born Kennedy, who was ranked at No.167 this time last year, has had a meteoric rise up the rankings over the past 12 months and her win over World No.5 Perry saw her lift the ninth PSA title of her career.

The 24-year-old has risen seven places to a career-high ranking of No.10 and it’s the first time since Laura Massaro retired in May, 2019 that there have been two English players inside the top 10 at the same time.

The rankings are once again topped by Nour El Sherbini, who extends her reign as World No.1 to a 16th successive month. The Egyptian is followed by Nouran Gohar (No.2), Hania El Hammamy (No.3), Amanda Sobhy (No.4) and Perry (No.5).

The rest of the top 10 is made up of Joelle King (No.6), Salma Hany (No.7), Camille Serme (No.8) and Rowan Elaraby (No.9).
