Sania, who reached the second round of the ladies' singles where she lost to US Open champion and World number six Svetlana Kuznetsova, jumped five places to get back to her best ever ranking which she had also achieved in the last week of May.
The Hyderabadi's ranking had slipped marginally to 75 following a couple of early losses in the clay court season, including the French Open, when she was returning from an eightweek injury layoff.
At the Wimbledon, however, Sania was at her best as she defeated Japan's Akiko Morigami, then ranked 71, in the first round before giving Kuznetsova a run for her money in the second round.The 18yearold is at present back in Hyderabad and, after more than a week's practice, will leave for the USA on a sevenweek sojourn culminating in the US Open Grand Slam starting August 29.
Her North American hard courts season schedule includes WTA Tour events at: July 18: Cincinnati (prize money of 170,000 US Dollars, Tier 3); July 25: Stanford (585,000 USD, Tier 2); Aug 1: San Diego (1.3 million USDTier 1); Aug 8: Los Angeles (585,000 USD); Aug 15: Toronto Canada (1.3 million USD).Sania will be accompanied by her new travelling coach John Farrington on tour.
