Two-time Olympic medalist PV Sindhu dropped three places to fall to 15th in the latest BWF world women’s singles rankings released on Tuesday. Sindhu, who dropped out of the elite top 10 in April this year, now has 51,070 points from 13 tournaments. The 27-year-old, who will feature this week at the Canada Open Super 500, has not looked great this season after returning from a five-month injury layoff following a stress fracture to her ankle heading into her Commonwealth Games- gold in August last year.
The highlight of this season was a final finish at the Madrid Spain Masters Super 300 and a semi-final at the Malaysia Masters Super 500 for Sindhu, who withdrew early from a string of events at the start of the year.
Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty are the top Indian men’s doubles players ranked No. 3 in the world.
HS Prannoy, who takes 8th place, is the top ranked Indian in men’s singles, while Lakshya Sen and Kidambi Srikanth are placed 19th and 20th respectively. In women’s doubles, Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand dropped one spot to 17th position.
Men’s doubles pair MR Arjun and Dhruv Kapila are ranked 26th while Rohan Kapoor and N Sikki Reddy occupy 33rd position in the latest ranking.
