 Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza falls to her lowest ranking in 2 years, falls to 99 in the WTA rankings. Sania is close to being knocked out of the top 100 with her ranking falling to 99 in the latest WTA rankings. This season's fall to 99 comes as a shock and testimony of the Hyderabadi's inconsistency over the period of time.
Sania's absence from the game because of injury has not helped matters as she has missed both the French Open and the US Open. Sania had withdrawn from the first round of the Olympics after suffering a wrist injury.
Sania Mirza's performance has been quite erratic over the past one and half years. She reached a career high ranking of 27 in August 2007 but couldn't sustain it for long. She fell out of the top 30 in April 2008 falling to number 31. The slip in rankings got bad subsequently as she fell 23 places just before the Olympics to 54th.

 Films and sports continue to be the most glam professions in India. Little wonder then that the two have an intimate chemistry that’s only getting hotter by the day.
A chemistry that is on its way to blossoming into a full-fledged relationship, Sania Mirza and Shahid’s closeness is one of its kinds. While the two have constantly maintained that they are single, the Kapur lad last admitted in an interview that if he liked someone and enjoyed her company, it is but obvious that they will be seen spending time together in public.
Now with a hint as strong as that, it is only a matter of time before the actor will make his relationship public. After all, actors too can believe in the adage ‘Once bitten, twice shy’. |

In the latest WTA chart she has slid to as low as 91. It is not that she has been playing badly; the fact is that she’s hardly been playing at all and that’s her problem.
