Sania Mirza slips to 50th world rank

New Delhi, Aug 15 (IANS) Sania Mirza slipped two places to 50th spot in the latest rankings of the Woman's Tennis Association (WTA) released Monday, following her first-round exit at the J.P. Morgan Chase Open last week.

The 18-year-old had achieved her personal best of breaking into the top 50 last week after her impressive showing on the American hard court circuit over the past month.

She has pulled out of this week's $1.3 million Rogers Cup in Toronto with a strained stomach muscle. The Hyderabad girl is expected to play in the $75,000 Forest Hills Classic next week in New York, ahead of the US Open beginning Aug 29
