The first round exit at the French Open tennis championships saw Sania Mirza [Images] slip five places in the WTA Tour Singles rankings released on Monday.
Sania, who had climbed to a career best 70 at the start of the second Grand Slam of the year, is now in 75th spot with 458.25 ranking points.
The 18-year-old kick starts her grass court season with the DFS Classic in Birmingham this week and would be hoping that the performance here and at Wimbledon would help her achieve her target of reaching the top 50 by the end of the year.
Shikha Uberoi also slipped two spots to 136 with 265.50 ranking points after she failed to qualify for the French Open and also the DFS Classic.
