India's tennis sensation Sania Mirza slipped two places in the singles Women's Tennis Association (WTA) rankings to finish the week in 34th spot after a back strain forced her to pull out of the Thailand Open earlier.
This is the second consecutive week that Sania has slipped places after a career high 31st rank achieved after a semi-finals appearance in the Japan Open earlier in the month.
The Hyderabadi girl also slipped five places in the doubles rankings and is currently in 114th spot.
It was not all bad news for Indian tennis though as Davis Cup captain Leander Paes climbed two places to 11th spot in the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) doubles entry rankings.
Paes had a fairly successful month winning the Bangkok Open with Australian Paul Hanley and reaching the finals of the Stockholm Open and the Madrid Masters with Serbian Nenad Zimonjic.
