Sania Mirza continues to dominate WTA doubles ranking

26 September, New Delhi

India’s Sania Mirza has mantained her numero uno position in the latest WTA women’s doubles ranking. This comes after her recent victory in the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo, partnering Barbora Strycova of Czech Republic.

Sania continues to be world number one in doubles with 9730 points. However, only five points separate her from her estranged partner Martina Hingis, who has collected 9,725 points.

Sania and Strycova have lost just once since pairing up in Cincinnati, reaching the quarterfinals of the US Open and taking home a second title at the Pan Pacific Open.

Among Indian men, Sakth Myneni is the highest place singles player. Myneni, who entered the main draw of the US Open after winning three rounds in the Qualifying event, dropped a rung to be placed 138th in the list.

Second highest-ranked Indian singles player Ramkumar Ramanathan, who featured in the recent Davis Cup tie against Spain, has plummeted 10 places to 229.

Another Indian Yuki Bhambri, while out of action, dropped a whopping 62 places to be placed 282nd in the chart. In the men’s doubles chart, Rohan Bopanna is static at 18th, while veteran Leander Paes has moved four places to 60th.
