April 07, 2005 14:44 IST

India tennis star Sania Mirza 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 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 in the third round of the Australian Open and world no. 7 Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia at the Dubai Open.

Lindsay Davenport of America tops the list followed by Amelie Mauresmo of France and Russian Maria Sharapova.
