HS Prannoy achieves career-best ranking, becomes sixth-best player in the world

In the process, Prannoy went past China's Li Shi Feng in the rankings and is within touching distance of WR-5 Shi Yu Qi. On the other hand, Lakshya Sen, who failed to produce a memorable performance at the Worlds, dropped a spot to WR-12, while Kidambi Srikanth remained static at WR-20. 

PV Sindhu, who has been battling for form this year, rose a spot to be WR-14 now. Former WR-1 Saina Nehwal has dropped out of the top 50 for the first time in her career, which only shows that she won't be able to make a comeback now.

In the men's doubles, after a shock exit from the quarters, the team of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty lost a few points, but have remained at WR-2. MR Arjun and Dhruv Kapila lose seven spots to be at WR-34 now. The women's doubles team of Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand has been largely disappointing, but has managed to gain two spots and is at WR-17.
