New Delhi, September 15: A 10th Grand Slam title at the US Open didn’t make any difference to Leander Paes’ ATP rankings as he remained eighth in the doubles list but Sania Mirza moved up in the WTA charts despite a disastrous outing at the Flushing Meadows.
Paes was steady at the eighth spot with 6710 points while his Czech partner Lukas Dlouhy ended up losing a place to be seventh in the latest list.
Paes’ estranged partner Mahesh Bhupathi, who lost to him in the US Open men’s doubles final, gained a spot to be sixth this week.
Bhupathi’s Bahamian partner Mark Knowles was unchanged at the fifth position.
In the ATP singles rankings, rising star Somdev Devvarman entered the top-150, rising 29 places for the 133rd spot this week.
