The International Federation of Teqball (FITEQ) has released the latest monthly teqball world rankings for the singles, doubles and mixed doubles categories.

The latest edition of the FITEQ world rankings saw American Dennis Correia reach a career-high doubles ranking of number three, following a series of victories in US Challenger Cups.

His most recent victory, with partner, compatriot and new world number five Luka Pilic, came in the San Diego Challenger Cup on July 31 where they beat world number 10 Andres Berriel of Uruguay and his partner Roberto Rubiolo of the United States in the final.

Hungary’s Adam Blazsovics maintained top spot in the doubles, with his long-term team mate and fellow reigning doubles world champion Csaba Banyik, also of Hungary, in second.

Carolyn Greco of the United States remains the highest ranked female player in the doubles ranking, with the world number 11 continuing to perform at a high-level in doubles, as well as women’s doubles and mixed doubles competitions.

In the singles, there was little movement in the top 10, with Blazsovics remaining in pole position.
