The latest official Open Rankings have just been released after the North of England Championships and the National Doubles Championship, and there’s plenty of movement throughout. Kay, Tristao and Beltrami keep a vice-like grip at the top of both Singles and Doubles, but the rest of the top ten shuffle around. Gwydion Wiseman jumps to a career high of 16 in Singles, with McCreath and Low making strong gains in the Doubles.
Val Fikhter continues to impress and catapults up both standings. And once again, Julian Hanton, fresh from record-breaking in the Singles rankings last time out, climbs 68 places in the Doubles. But it’s Carr (up 108 places) and Maconie (new entrant at 48) who are the biggest movers in Doubles, and Will Milne (up 116 places) in Singles — impressive stuff!
