Sania climbs to 59th spot

NEW DELHI: Sania Mirza received a major boost on Monday when she jumped 11 places to be at the 59th spot in the latest WTA rankings by virtue of reaching the semifinals of the Sunfeast Open tournament in Kolkata.

With 405 points, Sania is now the fourth best Asian in the ranking ladder.

She also reached her career-best doubles ranking a day after winning the Sunfeast title with her South African partner Liezel Huber.

The Indian, with 1070 points, rose two places to 26th spot while Huber got a promotion of three places to be at 18th in the doubles ranking.

The rest of the Indian pack had disappointment in store as Shika Uberoi (193 to 232), Ankita Bhambri (360 to 369) and Isha Lakhani (390 to 391) dropped in their rankings. However, Rushmi maintained her 454th spot.

On the men's front, both Leander Paes (9th) and Mahesh Bhupathi (25th) retained their doubles rankings. — PTI
