Raven Klaasen’s position remained unchanged despite a good outing with new doubles partner Leander Paes at the Chennai Open, in India.

The pair reached the doubles final on Sunday, where they fell 6-4 7-6 (4) to Great Britain’s Jonathan Marray and Chinese Tapei’s Yen-Hsun Lu.

Klaasen and Paes beat the Spanish combination of Pablo Carreno Busta and Guillermo Garcia-Lopez 6-3 6-3 in the semi-finals.

South Africa’s top-ranked women’s player, Chani Scheepers, dropped four places to 81.
