India’s mixed doubles pairing of Manika Batra and Sathiyan Gnanasekaran on Tuesday moved up a place to reach a career-high fifth in the International Table Tennis Federation rankings.
The duo had recently made the final at the WTT Contender in Slovenia.
“Breaking into the world top-5 rankings has truly been a dream come true moment,” Sathiyan, who is ranked 39th in singles, tweeted.
“It is indeed a great milestone towards our goal of reaching the pinnacle and winning that elusive Olympic medal.”
