- After winning a second consecutive PSA World Series title at the 2015
Qatar Classic in Doha last week, England’s Laura Massaro has opened up
a comfortable lead at the top of the Women’s PSA Road To Dubai
Standings, while Frenchman Gregory Gaultier maintains a slender
advantage atop the Men’s standings.
Massaro followed her triumph at the Delaware Investments U.S. Open with
a thrilling five-game win over Nour El Sherbini at the Khalifa Tennis
and Squash Complex to earn maximum points and establish an early lead
which sees her in pole position to qualify for the PSA Dubai World
Series Finals next May.
Massaro is over 100 points clear of her nearest challenger, El
Sherbini, while Gaultier, who was denied back-to-back titles in Doha by
World No.1 Mohamed Elshorbagy, holds a narrow lead over the 24-year-old
Egyptian.
Come May 2016, only the top eight players on the standings will qualify
for a coveted place at the PSA Dubai World Series Finals with every
match in the PSA World Series vital in determining who gets a shot at
one of the sport’s most prestigious titles.
