After a quite month for the top girls on the WSA tour, there wasn’t too much movement in the top 20 for the first rankings of 2012.

The December rankings were bound to feature some big changes due to the World Open and Hong Kong Open taking place in November. There were career highs aplenty throughout the top 100 and the highest of those was at number 3.

Day six of the World Open Squash 2011 at Rotterdam’s Victoria Squash opened up with the biggest upset yet as Mexico’s Samantha Teran, seeded fifteen, beat Rachael Grinham, the Australian who was champion in 2007 and was seeded three here.

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.

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

Kiwi number one Joelle King moves up to a career high of 11 in the new September rankings published today. The 22 year old was outside the top 20 last year but a strong season of results, including a quarter final place at last month’s Australian Open, has pushed her closer to a place in the world’s top 10.
