Sania Ranked 40th

Sania Mirza has dropped three spots to 40th in the latest WTA rankings.

Sania has shown little improvement in her rankings this year, which has not seen her go beyond the third round of any singles competition played so far. Her only major achievement this year has been a doubles title at tier-III Bangalore Open and reaching the doubles finals at the tier-II Bausch and Laumb Championship at Amelia Islands, Florida.

As we reported earlier, she is having fitness problem. We hope she'll be able to recover from it at the earliest and bring the same charm and charisma to the court that we enjoyed watching throughout the last year.
