Sania Mirza clings to 34th in Singles

India's Tennis Ace Sania Mirza remained static at 34th in singles while moving up one place to 113th in Doubles in the latest WTA rankings released yesterday.

The 19-year-old Hyderabadi has not played competitive tennis for more than two months after she pulled out of Bangkok open in October

Meanwhile, Lindsay Davenport holds on to top spot as there had been year-end lull in the circuit.

Among other Indians, US-based Shikha Uberoi moved down one place to finish at 156th, while Ankita Bhambri slipped nine places to 396th. Veteran Fed Cupper Rushmi (365th) and Sanaa Bhambri (463rd) moved up two and four places respectively, according to information received here today.

In ATP rankings, Indians had a good week with top players moving up the ladder. Harsh Mankad and Prakash Amritraj moved up one place each to 222nd and 267th, while Rohan Bopanna (266th) and Karan Rastogi (356th) made significant jumps of 10 and 11 places up the ladder respectively.
