Sania Mirza slipped two places to be 34th in the latest WTA Tour rankings announced on Monday after the Australian Open Grand Slam tennis tournament, reports PTI.
Sania, who was seeded 32nd in the season's first Grand Slam Down Under, lost in the second-round to Michaela Krajicek of the Netherlands.
The loss, combined with her first round exit in a WTA event in Sydney the preceding week, saw the 19-year-old from Hyderabad go down in the rating list.
Sania, who took lessons from elite coach Tony Roche before the start of the season, warmed up along side top players in an exhibition event at Hong Kong.
Sania is next scheduled to play in Paris in a $600,000 WTA tour event next week.
