After seeing the year-end rankings of our players, it seems our singles players r stagnant or declined in 2018 ... The only notable rise is from Sameer Verma inside the top-15 ... All other players failed to take the next step ... Hopefully, they will show more consistency in their game and rise in their rankings in 2019.

In the doubles, Satwik showing a superb improvement with his partners ... With Chirag, they r in the top-20 in the men's double and the top-25 in the mixed doubles with Ashwini ... His next target will be the top-10 in the men's doubles and the top-15 in the mixed doubles in 2019.
