As Indian Wells is taking place for 2 weeks, this will be the last update I do for 2 weeks. Tennis tournaments this week were held in Kuala Lumpur and Monterrey.
Our Big Gainer of the Week award this week goes to Timea Bacsinszky. Winning at Monterrey just a week after winning at Acapulco, she had to defeat Caroline Garcia twice in both finals, the scoreline was closer this time, but it's the winner who takes the spoils, and with her victories, Timea gained 39 ELO points to climb 8 places to a new ranking of #5.
This week, our Upset player of the Week is Casey Dellacqua. She was the 3rd seed at Kuala Lumpur but lost in the 1st round to a possibly under-ranked wildcard and top doubles player Hseih Su-Wei. This loss cost her 11 ELO points and thus she fell 10 places in the rankings to #44.
Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Alexandra Dulgheru, Jarmila Gajdosova, Carina Witthoft, Urszula Radwanska and Anastasia Pavyluchenkova.
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)| # | Name | ELO | ± |
