Bhubaneswar: Odisha shuttler Swetaparna Panda has reached a career-high mark in junior world rankings.

The 17-year-old climbed 14 places to break into the top 10 of mixed doubles.

As per the latest BWF Junior Rankings, Swetaparna is at No. 9, with 8990 points. She is the first Odia, as well as only Indian to be ranked in top 10 of junior mixed doubles.

Serbian Andjela Vitman tops the list, while Chinese girls Liao Pin Yi and Huang Ke Xin are tied second.
