Egypt retained the men’s and women’s squash titles in the Arab Games after first-time triumphs by Tarek Momen and Raneem El Weleily in the 2011 championships’ finals at the Khalifa International Tennis & Squash Complex in the Qatar capital Doha.

The first two matches completed saw qualifiers Lauren Selby and Tesni Evans turn in creditable performances against Rachael Grinham and Samantha Teran, both having had a good tournament and doing themselves credit in today’s openers.

The new October rankings have seen some significant moves inside the top 20 and beyond.

Raneem El Weleily won the biggest title of her career this week in New York at the Gold 45 Carol Weymuller Open, taking out four top 10 stars along the way in devastating style.

Round 1 of Carol Weymuller starts off with some upsets as Joelle and Raneem march into the quarters.
