Sania slips to 32nd place in singles, maintains doubles ranking

Recuperating from a back injury and bracing for a new season, Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza slipped one place to the 32nd spot in the latest WTA singles rankings announced today.

The 19-year-old Hyderabadi, who will be back in the court again in the Watson's Water Challenge Women's Invitational in Hong Kong in January, was ranked 31st last week and she boasts of 924.25 rank points.

Despite being out of action, Sania, however, maintains her doubles ranking of 113 with 334.50 ranking points.

US-based Shikha Uberoi, meanwhile, improved his position by a couple of rungs to finish 146th with 238.75 rankings points, according to information received here today.

Seasoned Rsuhmi Chakravarthi (62.25) is way behind at the 370th place after slipping three places. Between the Bhambri sisters, Ankita (58.25) slid four rungs to 388 while Sanaa slipped three for the 469th place.
