India's tennis sensation Sania Mirza was on Thursday seeded 32 in the women's draw for next week's Australian Open.
The 19-year-old, who is ranked 34th in the WTA Tour rankings, occupies the last seeded place.
The teenager from Hyderabad had a brilliant run in 2005, where she took her ranking as high as 31 (October 10, 2005) after starting the year on 206.
In her maiden appearance at the Australian Open last year, Sania created history when she became the first Indian woman to enter the third round of a Grand Slam tennis event, before losing to Serena Williams.
World number one Roger Federer and his counterpart in the women's game Lindsay Davenport were named top seeds.
