Sania gained just one point at the Nasdaq-100 Open ATP-WTA tournament at Key Biscayne, Miami where she lost to Maria Sanchez Lorenzo of Spain 2-6, 5-7 in the opening round.
The 18-year-old Hyderabad girl, who was ranked 77th before the tournament, now has 473 points from her 16 WTA tours.
Sania has come a long way from her 408 rank to the impressive 75th in the last one year during which she faced some top players like fourth ranked Serena Williams in the third round of the Australian Open and world no. 7 Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia at the Dubai Open.
