Sania ranked 42 in WTA

As a follow-up to my earlier blog on Sania's great potential, I was talking about how Vijay Amritraj was mentioning during Wimbledon that he would be very happy if Sania broke into Top 50 by end of year. Apparently, Sania had been listening to him and she broke into Top 50 by jumping to 42 even before the end of all the Slams of 2005.

She reached the finals of Tier 4 event in New York in the run-up for US Open and lost to 66th ranked player. But that was enough to push her ranking into Top 50. Here is wishing Sania a great US Open and complete the year on a high note. Maybe, breaking into Top 30!!

But her real challenge would be to finish the next year at the same level as she would this year. This, being her first year on the circuit, she has no points to defend. But she will have to match her performances of this year to stay competitive next year. Here is wishing a successful 2006 to Sania!
