Sylvain Ternon has won the Race to the Top 10 as he enters for the first time in his career at No.9.
The Frenchman replaces Lukas Windischberger in the Men’s Singles Rankings, with the Austrian dropping out after retiring from singles.
Elsewhere, Astrid Reimer-Kern has re-entered the top-10 in the Women’s Singles Rankings and Luke Griffiths is the new World No.1 in the Boys Singles Rankings.
Ternon Enters Top 10 of Men’s Singles Rankings
Sylvain Ternon has become the first new player to enter the Men’s Singles Top-10 since Arnaud Genin after an impressive 12 months. Ternon reached the final of the GRAWE sidebyside 14. Austrian Open last year and followed that up with a 3rd at this year’s IWT Swiss Open.
Ternon replaces Lukas Windischerberger who has retired from singles. Ternon also moves ahead of Duncan Stahl who drops down to No.10 after being knocked out in the first round of the IWT London Open.
Leon Griffiths, who won the IWT London Open, moves up six places to No.13 in the world rankings while beaten finalist, Calum Reid, moves back inside the top-50 to No.49.
Oliver Buhler’s run to the final of the IWT Swiss Open sees him move up to No.12 and on the cusp of the Top-10. IWT Swiss Open champion, Morten Jaksland, strengthens his grip on the World No.1 spot, leading Dan Busby by over 2,000 points.

There’s a tonne of other big movers in the top-100 following August’s two tournaments. Damien Andre moves up seven spots to No.30 while Luke Griffiths is up to No.31, a new career-high.
Young Brits Ross Wilson, Matthew Davidson and David Bennett all move over 30 places following their success in London. Wilson is up to No.66, Davidson at No.68 and Bennett at No.80. Fellow youngster Martin Abrami is up 18 places to No.79 as he continues his breakthrough.
Reimer-Kern Back into Top-10 as Jacobsen, Olsacher and Parslow Rise
In the Women’s Singles Rankings there was plenty of activity in the Top-20. After reaching the final of the IWT Swiss Open again, Astrid Reimer-Kern re-enters the Top-10. The German has replaced her fellow countrywoman Silke Altmann, who drops down to No.12.
She is not the only German in the Top-10 though, with Amke Fischer moving up two spots to No.8. Margaux Randjbar falls to No.9. That comes after Fischer rolled to the IWT London Open title back at the start of August.
After defeating her at the IWT Swiss Open, Nicole Eisler leapfrogs Kirsten Kaptein to hit No.5 in the rankings. Stine Jacobsen’s IWT Swiss Open title win sees her move to No.11. One more strong tournament run should see the Dane enter the Top 10 for the first time in her career.

After finishing as runner-up at the IWT London Open, Matilda Parslow enters the Top-20 for the first time, landing at No.17. One spot ahead of her is Irina Olsacher, who moves up four spots to No.16.
There are no other upwards movers in the top-20 but there is plenty of movement further down. Dara Ladner heads to No.29, rising eight places while French talent Myriam Enmer is up to No.39.
Both Alexandra Ogram and Fabienne Dony made huge breakthroughs this month. The pair both rose 60 places, to No.51 and No.61 respectively. That follows impressive performances in the IWT London Open for Ogram and IWT Swiss Open for Dony. After making her debut at the IWT London Open, Irina Sanderson arrives at No.77.
Griffiths Brothers, Koubaa, Olsacher and Fischer Among Big Doubles Movers
While Morten Jaksland and Christine Seehofer remain the doubles World No.1s, there was a little movement elsewhere in the Top-20.
Emanuel Schoepf is the only player to rise in the Top-20 of the Men’s Doubles. The Austrian rises ahead of Kresten Hougaard to No.3. Both Leon Griffiths and Mohammed Tarik Koubaa have entered the top-20, landing at No.18 and No.19 respectively.
Matt Davidson, Adarsh Vikram Narayanaswamy, Martin Abrami and Magnus Ekstrand all made big moves inside the top-100. All four rose over 30 places as they all look to rise ahead of the World Doubles Championships later this year.

The Women’s Doubles rankings saw minimal movement after the category only took place at the IWT Swiss Open. Irina Olsacher was the big mover, rising eight places to No.14. Esther Duebendorfer is also up to No.11 while Stine Jacobsen’s title sees her land at No.29, a rise of 18 spots.
Schoepf moved up one spot in the Men’s Doubles and did the same in the Mixed Doubles. The Austrian leapt over fellow countryman Lukas Windischberger to land at No.6. Just behind those two, Nicole Eisler is back inside the top-10 at No.8, rising three places.
IWT London Open champion Amke Fischer saw a healthy seven-spot bump up to No.14. Her partner, Sam Barker, makes his top-100 debut, rising over 200 spots to No.80 in the rankings. Matilda Parslow and Johnny Bispham’s runner-up spot in London sees them almost half their ranking from No.67 to No.34.
IWT Swiss Open champion Stine Jacobsen also enjoyed a big rise, moving up 21 places to No.26 in just her third Mixed Doubles tournament. Irina Olsacher at No.25 also moved up 14 spots after an impressive run in Switzerland.
Myriam Enmer, David Bennett, James Pope, Max Plettenberg and Alexandra Ogram all rose at least 30 spots, with the last five all moving into the Top-100 in the Mixed Doubles rankings.
Juniors and Seniors Rankings: Best of the Rest
Across all of our ranking categories, Luke Griffiths is the only new World No.1. The younger Griffiths brother rises to the top of the Boys Junior Singles rankings for the first time in his career, replacing Florian Harca. Davidson has moved up four spots to No.4 in those rankings while Bennett is at No.3 and Yannic Andrey enters the top-10 at No.10.
Alexandra Ogram is the new No.3 in the Girls Juniors Singles rankings. The young Brit rose six spots after an impressive showing at the IWT London Open.
In the Men’s Seniors Singles rankings, Christian Schaefer is the big winner. The Swiss player is up three places to No.5. Koubaa is at No.11 after a small rise. There was more movement in the Women’s Seniors Singles rankings. Stine Jacobsen’s title in Zurich sees her move to No.3, ahead of Silke Altmann and Esther Duebendorfer.
