Her inability to break the singles jinx this year notwithstanding, Sania Mirza has climbed three rungs to finish 37th in the latest WTA Tour rankings issued on Monday.

Sania has 516.75 singles ranking points and has also improved her doubles standings, rising five places to be at the 40th spot with 793.50 points.

The improvement in the doubles rankings follows her runner-up finish at the USD 600,000 Bausch and Lomb Championships on Sunday. She and her South African partner Liezel Huber were beaten by Shinobu Asagoe and Katarina Srebotnik in the doubles final in Florida.

The next Indian in the singles list, the US-based Shikha Uberoi, is way down at 180th spot with 150.50 points followed by Ankita Bhambri (60.25), who has jumped 20 places to 337th place.

Veteran Rushmi Chakravarthi (49.75) remains static at 369th, while her sister Sanaa (33.25) is the next to follow at 453.

The top 10 names in the list continue to remain unchanged except for American Lindsay Davenport, who has slipped one place to the sixth allowing French Mary Pierce to rise to fifth.

French Amelie Mauresmo (3511) is at the top with Belgians Kim Clijsters (2941) and Justine Henin-Hardenne (2858) in second and third spot respectively.

Top 10: 1. Amelie Mauresmo (France) 3511, 2. Kim Clijsters (Belgium) 2941, 3. Justine Henin-Hardenne (Belgium) 2858, 4. Maria Sharapova (Russia) 2753, 6. Mary Pierce (France) 2411, 5. Lindsay Davenport (US) 2329, 7. Nadia Petrova (Russia) 2305, 8. Elena Dementieva (Russia) 2086, 9. Patty Schnyder (Switzerland) 1906, 10. Svetlana Kuznetsova (Russia) 1503.
