The official world women’s rankings have been updated for the fourth time during the 2024/25 season after Reanne Evans claimed her seventh Women’s Masters title at Frames Sports Bar in Coulsdon, London.

The WWS world rankings operate on a rolling two-year basis, with points earned during the 2024/25 season to replace those earned through the 2022/23 campaign. At this revision points from the 2022 Scottish Open and 2022 Women’s Masters have been removed and those earned at the 2024 Women’s Masters have been added.

The total rankings points of each player are calculated from their best 14 results during the current counting period.

Mink Ends Year As No.1

Thailand’s Mink Nutcharut will finish 2024 as the world number one ranked player following her run to the final at Frames, but second placed Ng On Yee has closed the gap from 8,125 points to just 5,500 at the halfway point of the campaign.

This comes despite victory for Nutcharut against Ng at the semi-final stage, as the current world number one was defending 12,375 points at the event, compared to just 7,875 for Hong Kong China’s Ng.

With Nutcharut set to defend a maximum 7,500 points from her win at the 2023 Belgian Open in January, compared to just 1,500 for Ng, there is a real possibility of a change at the top of the rankings, with Ng looking to return to the summit for the first time since April 2019.

Behind the top two, Reanne Evans in remains in third position after she claimed her first title in 14 months, but with a significantly reduced advantage to the fast-rising Bai Yulu, who continues to have no points to defend having not competed on the Tour in 2022.

With the points removed from her Scottish Open win in 2022 and semi-final at the Women’s Masters that year, Evans has seen her advantage cut from 6,875 to just 875 points at the end of the year.

Notable Movers

Outside of the top four, India’s Anupama Ramachandran is the biggest winner as she climbs three places to break into the world’s top ten for the first time in her career at number eight.

Despite having to withdraw from the Masters at short notice, with no points to defend from 2022, the 22-year-old moves above Tessa Davidson, Jamie Hunter and Ploychompoo Laokiatphong, who all saw their totals reduced in a tightly contested fight for the final places inside of the top ten.

There is a new career-high position for Amee Kamani who rises one position to 13th with her run to the quarter-finals, while Yee Ting Cheung (+4), Narucha Phoemphul (+5), Katrina Wan (+2) and Hannah Jones (+7) are among the other big risers within the top 30.

Under-21s, Seniors

Sophie Nix and Tessa Davidson have retained their positions at the head of the Under-21 and Seniors ranking lists following the Women’s Masters.

Scotland’s Nix has seen her advantage reduced from 6,375 to 4,500 after second placed Zoe Killington reached the Masters junior final for a fourth successive year. Behind the top two, 13-year-old Ellise Scott continues to close the gap, as does Thailand’s Narucha Phoemphul following her maiden Under-21 triumph which takes her to fourth position.

In the Seniors rankings, England’s Tessa Davidson continues to hold a dominant lead at the top of the list following her third consecutive Masters triumph at Frames.

England’s Sarah Dunn gains one position following her final defeat to Davidson, moving ahead of Diana Schuler who was defending maximum points following her Scottish Open win two years ago.

The WWS Tour will return next month with the WSF Women’s Championship from 18-23 January 2025 in Saidia, Morocco. Entry for the event is open now via WPBSA SnookerScores.
