#3 Sania Mirza (Tennis – Women’s doubles)
Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza has recently completed 80 weeks at the top of the women’s doubles ranking in the world. She clinched the top spot in April, 2015 and no one has been able to topple her yet.
In 2015, she became the first Indian to become the number one in WTA’s doubles rankings after her triumph in the 2015 Family Circle Cup. Hee partnership with Swiss tennis player Martina Hingis bore instant fruit and the pair went on to win three consecutive grand slams – the Wimbledon in 2015, the US Open in 2015 and the Australian Open in 2016.
Speaking on her achievement, Mirza had said, “It’s a dream for every kid to be No. 1 one day. No tournament has been as special to me as the Family Circle Cup and no tournament will ever be as special to me, because I became No. 1 here."
The three grand slam titles have helped her to hold on to her top ranking for so long and her fans hope that she stays there for much longer.
