Greg Gaultier to find his concentration at the final of the Qatar Classic 2011 (photo: SquashSite) Success in last week’s Qatar Classic in Doha has seen Greg Gaultier rise to 5th place in the latest 2011 Dunlop PSA World Series Standings. In his first major title success for more than two years, the Frenchman defeated England’s former champion James Willstrop in a 70-minute final of the 6th PSA World Series event of the year.
But, despite surprise early exits in Doha, England’s world No1 Nick Matthew and the 2nd-ranked Egyptian Ramy Ashour share the lead at the top of the standings, both with 375 points.
Egypt’s US Open champion Amr Shabana holds onto 3rd place, while Willstrop strengthens his grip on 4th place after reaching his first World Series final of the year.
