# Sania Mirza
The only woman to make the list is the Hyderabadi girl, Sania Mirza. For 11 years from 2003 to 2013 until her retirement from Singles, Sania Mirza was ranked the Number 1 Indian tennis player. Her career took off in 2005 when she was all of 19. She made the 4th round of the US open that year - her best showing in Singles category in a Grand Slam tournament. Having attained a career-high ranking of World Number 27 in SIngles in the year 2007, Sania finally decided to quit Singles to focus on her Doubles game. She managed to log wins over the likes of Svetlana Kuznetsova, Marion Bartoli, Martina Hingis and Victoria Azarenka. Post her singles retirement, Sania forged a successful partnership with Martina Hingis in doubles. The pair won 3 Grand Slam titles in all the Grand Slam tournaments barring the French Open. Mirza has also won 3 Grand Slam Mixed Doubles titles - 2 with Mahesh Bhupathi and one with Bruno Soares. She is the only Indian woman to have ascended to the top of the WTA Doubles ranking.
After having missed the 2018 season due to pregnancy, Sania Mirza will look to get back to winning ways once the 2019 tennis season kicks off.
