Sania continues free fall in WTA rankings

New Delhi: Sania Mirza's woeful Olympic performance has seen her drop two places to 65 in the singles chart of the latest WTA tennis rankings issued on Monday.

After getting a bye in the first round, the 21-year-old Indian was forced to retire from her second round match in Beijing due to a nagging wrist injury.

The misery continued in the doubles as well as she and Sunitha Rao made a first round exit but that has not affected her doubles rankings and the Indian continues to hold steady at 27th.

Meanwhile, in the ATP charts, Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi did not experience any major rise or fall despite a disappointing Olympic campaign in which the reunited partners were knocked out in the quarterfinals.

While Bhupathi rose a spot to 12th this week, Paes dropped a rung to 16th.
