India tennis star Sania Mirza [Images] has jumped up two places to 75th in the latest WTA Tour tennis rankings.
Sania gained just one point at the Nasdaq-100 Open ATP-WTA tournament at Key Biscayne, Miami [Images] where she lost to Maria Sanchez Lorenzo of Spain 2-6, 5-7 in the opening round.
The 18-year-old Hyderabad girl, who was ranked 77th before the tournament, now has 473 points from her 16 WTA tours.
Sania has come a long way from her 408 rank to the impressive 75th in the last one year during which she faced some top players like fourth ranked Serena Williams [Images] in the third round of the Australian Open and world no. 7 Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia [Images] at the Dubai Open.
Lindsay Davenport [Images] of America tops the list followed by Amelie Mauresmo of France [Images] and Russian Maria Sharapova [Images].
