In the summit clash in Sapin, the former world number one Indian was defeated by Singapore's Loh Kean Yew 21-15, 22-20 on Sunday. The final lasted for 43 minutes.
Lakshya Sen, who also secured a maiden bronze at World Championship in his debut at the event, jumped to 17th position. While B Sai Praneeth slipped two places. He is currently at the 18th spot.
HS Prannoy jumped six places after he reached the quarterfinal in Huelva. He now sits at the 26th spot.
