The US embassy in Cairo congratulated squash player Raneem el-Welily over the first ever-Egyptian world number one ranking squash player.

El-Welily has ended Nicol David's unprecedented nine-year run as the uninterrupted World No.1 by topping the September 2015 PSA Women’s World Rankings, the embassy said in a statement.

The top 10 on the September 2015 PSA Women’s World Rankings list also includes three other Egyptians – Omneya Abdel Kawy, Nour El-Sherbini and Nour El-Tayeb.
