Sania Mirza made a minor recovery from her recent slump as she moved up one place to 67th in the latest WTA Rankings issued on Monday.

The Indian ace, whose not-so-impressive season so far has seen her drop out of the top-50, has 382 points in the singles list.

However, Sania continues to move up in the doubles ranking and is now placed at a career-high 26th in the list with 1070 points.

Sania's current doubles standing is an improvement of one place as compared to last week.

Among the other Indians in the list, US-based Shikha Uberoi (128.25) follows Sania way behind at the 211th spot, one down from last week. Shikha, however, has gained two places in the doubles list to be 126th this week.

The Bhambri sisters -- Ankita and Sanaa -- are 335th and 635th respectively in the singles list. The siblings are placed 410th and 414th in the doubles rankings. Veteran Rushmi Chakravarthi has improved to the 413th spot in singles and to 351st in the doubles standings.

Belgian Justine Henin-Hardenne (3473) tops the singles list followed by Russian Maria Sharapova (3102), who has swapped places with Amelie Mauresmo (2668) of France.

Swiss Martina Hingis (1926), continuing her remarkable comeback from a career-threatening injury, has moved up a rung to seventh this week.

Meanwhile, in the ATP doubles rankings, Leander Paes has dropped one spot to be 11th in the latest list issued today. Paes' estranged partner Mahesh Bhupathi has lost ground and is down four places to 31 in the current standings.
