Ryder & Meyer top ERT season ending rankings

No changes on the top of the mens and ladies singles rankings after the release of the ERT 2011-2012 season endings rankings: Ireland's Donna Ryder and Germany's Trevor Meyer are still topping their divisions after a long season on the European Racquetball Tour that has just ended with the Italian Open 2012 in Brembate, Italy. It is Ryder's first time to finish on the No. 1 spot in Europe while Trevor Meyer has been Europe's No. player before. Check out all ERT rankings at www.european-racquetball.org.

This season, only 10 events in only 4 countries have been sanctioned by the European Racquetball Federation (ERF) as an official event of the European Tour. Some tradional events like the French Open, Belgium Open and Dutch Open have been missed this season due to court closures in those countries. "We hope to see those events coming back at some point in the future", says the ERF's Technical Director Michael Haverty from Ireland. "Racquetball is still being played in those countries", he added.

The next European starts at the end of October, tradionally with the Hamburg Open in Germany. More information on this event will be published shortly.
