Sania Mirza slipped one spot to be number 32 in WTA Tour rankings but remained Asia's second best woman player after the latest rankings were released on Monday.
Sania, less than a month away from turning 19, was ranked at career best 31 last week but moved down one position following her pull out in the second round of the Thailand Open WTA event in Bangkok following a lower back strain.
