20-year-old
Peruvian Diego Elias has moved up two places to a career-high World
No.15 in the latest Men's PSA World Rankings - released
today (October 1) - courtesy of sublime run of form that saw him reach
the semi-finals of the 2017 Oracle NetSuite Open.
Elias,
the former World Junior champion, powered his way past three-time World
Champion Nick Matthew - who remains at World No.4 in
the latest standings - to reach the last four before losing out to
current World Champion Karim Abdel Gawad in a hard fought five-game
battle.
Gawad
meanwhile remains at World No.2 for a fifth straight month but has
narrowed the gap on World No.1 Gregory Gaultier, with the
Frenchman notching up a fifth successive month atop the standings while
Mohamed ElShorbagy, the man who beat Gawad to the title in San
Francisco, remains at World No.3.
Ali
Farag (5), Marwan ElShorbagy (6), Tarek Momen (8) and Fares Dessouky
(9) complete a six-strong Egyptian presence within the Top
10, with England's James Willstrop (7) and New Zealand's Paul Coll (10)
occupying the remaining positions in an unchanged line up.
Outside
the Top 10, former World No.1 Ramy Ashour has moved up three places to
No.11 following his victory at the 2017 J.P. Morgan
China Open in early September, moving ahead of Germany's Simon Rösner,
fellow Egyptian Mohamed Abouelghar and England's Daryl Selby - who sits
one place above Elias.
Australian
duo Ryan Cuskelly and Cameron Pilley are at No.16 and No.17,
respectively, just ahead of Spanish star Borja Golan with
Mexican Cesar Salazar and Egyptian Zahed Mohamed completing the Top 20.
