While Australia’s Rachael Grinham (pic green) returns to the top 3 in the new May Women’s World Squash Rankings, her younger sister Natalie Grinham (pic red) also bounces back into the top 20 after the birth of her first child last year. Malaysian Nicol David extends her lead at the top of the list after winning the Cayman Islands Open crown for the 3rd successive year last month – and boosting her career WISPA Tour haul to 52 titles. But though England’s Jenny Duncalf holds onto 2nd place, Rachael Grinham leapfrogs Ireland’s Madeline Perry to take over the 3rd spot.
