Ever since her first round Wimbledon defeat, Sania has been playing ITF events instead of WTA Tour tournament but could not garner much points. Somdev had entered the top-100 for the first time in his career last week following the second round appearance at the Los Angeles ATP event.Meanwhile, in the ATP doubles ranking, Leander Paes (6) kept his position intact but Mahesh Bhupathi slid to eighth from seventh. Rohan Bopanna gained one spot to career best 33 following his stunning win against Bryan brothers along with Pakistan’s Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi at Legg Mason Classic. PTI
