TT star Manika now world No. 24, first Indian woman in top 25

Manika jumped 15 places from no. 39 to become world number 24. Moreover, she reclaimed her India number one place from Sreeja Akula. In the process, the 25-year-old paddler has become the first Indian woman to break into the top 25 singles rankings. Manika's ranking jump came on the back of her quarterfinal finish in the Saudi Smash event last week.
