In the women’s rankings Kiwi Joelle King has continued at No.5 in the world behind current top player Raneem El Welily (Egypt) and fellow Egyptians Nour El Sherbini and Nour El Tayeb and Frenchwoman Camille Serme.

Both Coll and King will now play in the DPD Open Platinum PSA event in Eindhoven, the Netherlands starting April 9.
