NEW DELHI, Jan. 29: Despite a second-round exit at the
Australian Open, Sania Mirza was back among the world’s
top 50 by gaining five spots to be at 48th place in
the latest WTA Tour rankings.
The 20-year-old Hyderabad girl defeated Ukrainian Olga
Savchuk in the first round before going down tamely
to Japan’s Aiko Nakamura to bow out of the singles
draw in the first Grand Slam tournament of the year.
Sania was benefitted by the drop in rankings of Americans
Shenay Perry and an out-of-scene Venus Williams, as
well as Russian Elena Vesnina. Shikha Uberoi, the next
highest Indian in the rankings, dropped 20 places to
be 228th.
Australian Open champion Serena Williams had a steep
climb from 81st to 14th place while beaten finalist
Maria Sharapova of Russia took over the top ranking
from Belgian Justine Henin-Hardenne.
Czech Republic’s Nicole Vaidisova, who made it
all the way to the last four, entered into the top-10
list by gaining three spots to be ninth. Another semi-finalist,
Belgian Kim Clijsters, moved one place up to fourth.
Sania, who teamed up with Spaniard Anabel Medina Garrigues
to make it to the third round in women’s doubles,
gained two spots to be at 23rd position. Shikha is the
only other Indian in the top-100 at no. 92.
Leander Paes, who did not have a great run in Melbourne,
partnering Czech Republic’s Martin Damm, dropped
two places to 12th on the ATP rankings. Mahesh Bhupathi,
who reached the quarter-finals with Czech Radek Stepanek,
rose two spots to 27th. [Source : The Statesman/PTI]
