In men's singles, HS Prannoy was static at World number 8, while Kidambi Srikanth dropped a rung to 21st place and Lakshya Sen was 25th.
Swiss Open champion Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty strengthened their world number six position, while women's doubles pairing of Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand was static at the 18th position.
