The 25-year-old (here in chat with the French MC) 1st topped the rankings at the beginning of 2010. But it was in January this year that Ashour began his latest run as the world's highest-ranked player Ramy Ashour moves into his 7th successive month at the top of the PSA Men’s World Squash Rankings to establish his longest unbroken run as World No1in the July list published by the Professional Squash Association.
Ashour is the dominant force in world squash today after winning his eighth successive PSA World Tour title at the Allam British Open in May.
In an unchanged world top 20, Frenchman Gregory Gaultier holds onto 2nd place – his highest ranking for more than a year – while Englishmen James Willstrop and Nick Matthew are at No3 and No4, respectively.
