The 21-year-old from Mol rises two places to leapfrog Egypt’s Nadine Shahin and former World Junior champion Rowan Elaraby to break into the top 20.

Tinne is now just one place behind her sister Nele, who remains at No.18.

Hong Kong’s Annie Au (No.11), India’s Joshna Chinappa (No.12), Egypt’s Salma Hany (No.14) and England’s Alison Waters (No.14) retain their places as Egypt’s Yathreb Adel and USA’s Olivia Blatchford Clyne both rise a place to No.15 and No.16, respectively, while Victoria Lust drops two places to No.17.
