Following their Delaware Investments U.S. Open clash last week, both Nicol David and Raneem El Weleily have amassed enough World Series points to cement places in January’s World Series Finals.
Alongside other World Series events so far in 2012, the CIMB Nicol David KL Open, British Open and Malaysian Open all give players World Series Standing points as well as their World Rankings points.
David’s World Series finals against Annie Au, Nour El Sherbini and two against Raneem El Weleily put her in pole position in the Standings, allowing her the opportunity to retain the title she claimed at Queens Club in London back in January.
Two semi-finals and two final appearances for Raneem El Weleily have also put the Egyptian in the running for the event, the first time she has qualified for the competition.
Also currently in the running for the 2012 Finals, to be held again in London in January, are world No.2 Laura Massaro, as well as Nour EL Sherbini, Annie Au, Jenny Duncalf, Low Wee Wern and Madeline Perry.
Joelle King and Camille Serme are currently just short of qualifying for the event, with just two World Series events left in the 2012 calendar. Just behind them are Alison Waters, Kasey Brown andRachael Grinham who will be looking to make the most of opportunities in the forthcoming Cathy Pacific Sun Hung Kai Hong Kong Open in November and the Cayman Islands World Open in December.
