New Zealand\u2019s World No.3 Paul Coll and Egypt\u2019s World No.5 Amina Orfi have moved to the top of the PSA Squash Tour Finals leaderboards after their respective title wins at the London Squash Classic 2025 over the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coll got his 2025\/26 PSA Squash Tour season off to a dream start with a superb win over Wales\u2019 World No.4 Joel Makin in the final of the Gold-level event, while Orfi overcame Belgium\u2019s Nele Gilis in straight games to win her second Gold title of her career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These wins have seen the pair climb to the summit of the Road To Tour Finals standings on 1,800 points, with Makin and Gilis closely behind them in second with 1,170 points, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elsewhere, Egypt\u2019s Habiba Hani, who won the Copper-level Bega Open last month, currently lies in fifth spot in the women\u2019s standings behind Malaysia\u2019s Sivasangari Subramaniam and Japan\u2019s Satomi Watanabe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fellow London Classic semi-finalists, Peru\u2019s Diego Elias and Malaysia\u2019s Eain Yow Ng, make up the rest of the top four in the men\u2019s leaderboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To qualify for the PSA Squash Tour Finals, players must win a prestigious Diamond title, whilst the reigning World Champions also qualify automatically. Any remaining places are allocated to the players who fill out the top eight spots in the Road to Tour Finals standings, with points on offer at all PSA World Events during the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first Diamond event of the season, the Egyptian Open, kicks off later this week in front of the spectacular Great Pyramid of Giza. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile World No.4 and tournament No.4 seed Olivia Weaver has withdrawn from the upcoming Egyptian Open due to an adductor injury she sustained at the London Squash Classic last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Orfi replaces Weaver as a 3\/4 seed and occupies her spot in the draw. Orfi now sits in the same half of the draw as No.2 seed Nour El Sherbini and will open her account against one of Menna Hamed or Zeina Mickawy after a first-round bye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a result of this withdrawal, England\u2019s Georgina Kennedy moves into a top-eight seeding position and will now receive a first-round bye. The 28-year-old is in the same quarter of the draw as World No.3 Hania El Hammamy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fellow England teammate Jasmine Hutton has become a top-16 seed and will now receive a bye. She will take on one of Grace Gear or Hana Ramadan in round two of the Diamond-level event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, England\u2019s Lucy Turmel has also withdrawn from the event due to injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a result of these two withdrawals, Canada\u2019s Nicole Bunyan and Ainaa Amani move from the qualifying draw into the main draw of the event. Bunyan will face Melissa Alves in the opening round, while Amani takes on Georgia Adderley in her first-round match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
