The official world women’s rankings have been updated once again following victory for OnYee Ng at the Belgian Women’s Open, held at Trickshot Snooker in Bruges last weekend.

The WWS world rankings operate on a rolling two-year basis, with points earned during the 2025/26 season to replace those earned through the 2023/24 campaign. At this revision points earned at the 2024 Albanian Women’s Open have been removed and those earned at the 2026 Belgian Women’s Open have been added.

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

No Change at the Top

The points totals of the top three players in the world rankings remain unchanged following the action in Belgium, after they each successfully defended the points that they were due to lose from the corresponding event held in Albania two years ago.

As was the case in 2024, OnYee Ng defeated Mink Nutcharut in the semi-finals to capture the titles, after Mink had similarly defeated Bai Yulu 4-3 in the semi-finals.

Heading into the final two events of the season, each of the top three have a similar amount of points to defend following their results at the 2024 British Open and World Championship tournaments, meaning that there is all to play for over the coming months in the race for top spot.

Behind the top three, the only position change inside of the world’s top 10 sees Tessa Davidson reclaim eighth position from Thailand’s Baipat Siripaporn.

Quarter-Final Trip on the Rise

There are new career-high world rankings for three players who each progressed to the last eight in Bruges.

Hong Kong China’s Mei Mei Fong climbs seven spots to enter the world’s top 16 for the first time after she reached her first ranking event quarter-final in seven years since the 2019 UK Championship. The 34-year-old eclipses her previous high ranking of 17 earned in February 2019.

One place behind her is Latvia’s Anna Prisjažņuka, who is up to 17th following her third quarter-final appearance of the season in Bruges and is well-placed to improve further with no points due to be defended until August 2027.

There is also a new career-best for Thailand’s Phakwalan Kongkaew, after the 14-year-old reached the quarter-finals of a world ranking event for the first time in her career.

Elsewhere inside of the world’s top 20, Thailand’s Panchaya Channoi gains two positions to rise to 14th position following her last 16 run.

Notable Movers

Also inside of the top 30, players who improved their positions following their results in Belgium include Yuk Fan Lau (+1), Laura Killington (+1) and Zoe Killington (+11), the latter having reached the last 16 of a world ranking event held outside of the UK for the first time.

There is a notable jump for Hong Kong China’s Wing Man Shiu (+19) after she reached the last 16 stage of a WWS event for the second time in her career, while Belgium’s Diana Khodjaeva matched her result of 12 months ago to gain 31 positions following only her second Tour appearance.

Finally, Poland’s Paulina Delega dramatically came through a three-player playoff to reach the knockout rounds for the first time and earn a huge jump of 63 places to number 69.

Junior, Senior Rankings

Reigning world under-21 champion Panchaya Channoi is the big mover in the latest Under-21 rankings as the Thai player climbs from sixth to third position following her latest title success in Belgium.

The 18-year-old defeated compatriot Narucha Phoemphul in the final for a second successive junior tournament as she looks to close the gap on Phoemphul and England’s Ellise Scott over the coming months.

In the Seniors rankings it is England’s Tessa Davidson who remains as the runaway number one following her 19th victory since her return to the Tour in January 2022.

Behind her, the biggest mover is Belgium’s Anja Vandenbussche, who reached her second successive final on home soil to improve three places to number seven in the standings.

The World Women’s Snooker Tour continues with the staging of the Landywood British Open which runs from 27-29 March 2026 at the Landywood Snooker Club, UK. Enter now via WPBSA SnookerScores.
