The only Indian woman with a WTA title under her belt, Sania Mirza, jumped two places to finish on a career-high 75th, according to the latest WTA Singles Rankings.
Placed 77th in the previous rankings, Sania now has 433 rank points, according to information received here on Wednesday.
Coached by Bob Brett, Sania's career prize money is pegged at 129,109 dollars after turning pro in 2003.
Sania created history when she defeated the ninth seed A Bondarenko, to win the Hyderabad Open title earlier this year and broke into top 100 for first time at No 99 on February 14 rankings.
Though she had to withdraw from Bogota the following week due to a sprain in the right ankle, the Hyderabad girl had a dream run at the Dubai Open where she defeated a much higher ranked Jelena Kostanic in the first round and followed it with straight sets upset of fours seed Svetlana Kuznetsova, in the next match before bowing to Jelena Jankovic.
