Sania ranked sixth on WTA Power Index

BANGALORE: Sania Mirza is ranked No.6 in the newly introduced Sony Ericsson WTA Tour Power Index after the East West Bank Classic Championship at Los Angeles.

The new statistics, launched last week, represents a totalled analysis of a player’s fastest shots during a match including first and second serves, groundstroke (forehand or backhand), first and second-serve returns and smash /volley. The final Power Index ‘score’ is an average of all six individual statistics. Each player’s Power Index reflects their personal best for the week.

Venus Williams topped the index after Week One at the Acura Classic in San Diego with 98.8 mph. Yaroslava Shvedova bettered the index, recording 102.9 mph to top the charts at East West Bank Classic in Los Angeles.
