The semi-final appearance in the doubles competition at the same event also helped Sania gain seven places and she is now 63 in the doubles ranking.
Sania's ranking had plummeted to 126 as she spent almost half the 2008 season out of courts due to a wrist injury. In the ATP rankings, appearance in the doubles final at the SAP Open in the United States helped Rohan Bopanna gain seven places and he now stands at 78.
However, the same result for Leander Paes at the World Tennis tournament did no help improve his current ranking of seven. Mahesh Bhupathi, who did not play last week, remained stationary at number five.
