King retains world ranking

No change for Joelle King in the latest WSA world squash rankings.

King is on her way home from the Commonwealth Games with a bronze medal around her neck, returning to the news she has retained her ranking of number four in the world.

Malaysia's Nicol David remains number one, bringing up an astonishing 100 months at the top of the standings.

Megan Craig is the next best Kiwi in the rankings, slipping one place to 42 on the August list, while Kylie Lindsay has held fast at number 51 and Amanda Landers-Murphy is up one to 58.

Meanwhile, some consolation for Martin Knight after missing out on a mixed doubles medal with King in Glasgow, as he climbs one place on the PSA men's rankings to be New Zealand's highest ranked player at 41 in the world.

Knight is wasting little time before getting back on the court when he gets home, playing a couple of exhibition matches against local A-grade players at the Papakura Squash Club on Thursday night.

Fellow kiwi Campbell Grayson has slipped three places in this month's rankings, down to number 45, while Paul Coll also drops three to number 82, Kashif Shuja is up three to 127 and Lance Beddoes has climbed five places to 131.
