That is true, Kishash. But, live rankings are not the official ones and they keep on changing thru the week as more players can win matches and overtake Ankita.

So, we update the ranking list only based on official rankings and I suggest we wait to post congratulatory messages too after it is officially updated. :D
Of course, one can always put that as an info. It looks most likely that Ankita will enter top 200 in next Monday's official WTA rankings.

Ankita will become only the third Indian (ie, full Indian citizen from birth to time of latest ranking) to make the top-200 in the singles rankings -- after Sania Mirza and Nirupama Vaidyanathan. This will be a truly momentous feat for her. Winning a round or three in Japan this week will make the achievement all the sweeter.

Yes, it has appeared now in the official rankings. Ankita becomes only the fifth Indian player and only third Indian citizen to break into top 200 in this week's WTA singles rankings. :clap:

Just looking back at her historical rankings, Ankita broke into top 300 in September 2013 i.e almost 4 and half years back. She had been hanging around between 200 and 300 for such a long time and most of that time beetween 250 and 300. So, great that she has finally made a move top top 200 and hope that she takes more forward step quicker.

Yes, Ankita is now officially ranked 197 in singles and 195 in doubles. Congratulations to her. I look forward to her playing in the French Open and Wimbledon qualifiers this year.

Good for Ankita to qualify for WTA 125 event. Sunfeast Open/Bangalore Open(Tier III, international) were WTA 175K events. Financial commitment for Hyderabad open used to be even less than the Sunfeast open.
