Sania Mirza finishes year ranked 66th

Sania Mirza has moved three places to end 66th on the WTA charts.

The Indian tennis icon Sania Mirza, who had begun the year with a career-best rank of 31, could not add any feathers to her hat in the year gone by apart from a couple of surprises which included a victory against former world number one Martina Hingis.

Sania Mirza slump was also evident from the fact that her rating points dropped to 382, way below her last year's count. Sania Mirza is currently preparing for the Asian Hopman Cup mixed team championship to be held in her home town of Hyderabad from November 22.

In the doubles, the Indian finished with a career-best ranking of 24 with 1070 points. Among other Indians in the WTA singles chart, US-based Shikha Uberoi finished 206th, followed by Ankita Bhambri (42.50) at 418. Date 13 Nov
