Women's ELO Rankings 16/02/2015

With the 1st round of Dubai matches already taking place before the completion of the previous week's, this week's rankings do not account for those already completed matches. This week saw 2 WTA tournaments being held, in Pattaya and Antwerp.

This week's Big Gainer of the Week is Daniela Hantuchova, a player that nobody should ever underestimate. After her 1st round win over Zarina Diyas from 1 set down, she was always a strong contender at Pattaya and had to come back from 1 set down 2 more times in the semis and the final to take the title. Her performance this week gave her 48 ELO points and climbed 22 paces to a new ranking of 17.

This week, our Upset player of the Week is Eugenie Bouchard. When you're the overwhelming top seed and get a bye in to the 2nd round of a tournament, you're expected to win your opening match. Her failure to defeat Mona Barthel has cost her 14 ELO points, but because she was so far ahead of the rest, did not lose any places in the rankings and is still at #4, but may not be for long as she's skipping next week's tournaments.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Carla Suarez Navarro, Andrea Petkovic, Ajla Tomljanovic, Marina Erakovic and Monica Puig.

Now, the the full rankings. (± is for ranking, not rating. Some players who are new to the rankings will have artificially high ± scores as I add them to the bottom before sorting them in to their new position)
