Sania, whose wrist was operated upon last week in the US, now has 917 points.
Sania's doubles standing has also improved by three notches to 19th this week. The Hyderabadi girl has 1830 points in the doubles' list.
Meanwhile, in the ATP doubles' rankings, Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi held steady at their 13th and 24th positions respectively.
Paes and Bhupathi were seen in action together for the first time since their 2006 Asian Games spat in the Davis Cup tie against Japan last week.
The estranged duo put their personal differences aside to lead India to a 3-2 win over the Japanese. The triumph earned India a place in the World Group playoff to be held in September.
