BRISBANE: American Bethanie Mattek-Sands will rise to number one in the world when the WTA doubles rankings are released on Monday. Mattek-Sands sealed top spot after winning her 23rd WTA doubles title in Brisbane on Saturday with partner Sania Mirza.

Congratulations to her for becoming No 1. She has had an amazing year.”, Mattek-Sands has won three grand slam doubles titles all with Czech Lucie Safarova – the most recent coming at last year’s U.S. Open.
