Women's ELO Rankings 06/04/2015

It's been another long 2 weeks without an update, as there's only been 1 WTA tournament held, at Miami this time. I've just come back from a holiday just in time as the Tennis goes back to weekly tournaments up until the French Open.

Our Big Gainer of the Week award for these 2 weeks goes to Serena Williams. Serena finally proved to the world this year why she is seen as the best women's tennis player of the past 15 years or so, winning Miami as the top seed. She gained 44 ELO points for her victory and moved from #3 to #2 on my rankings, currently 26 points behind the #1.

For these 2 weeks, our Upset player of the Week is another top quality player in Maria Sharapova. Her loss in the 2nd round is not something you would expect from a #2 seed, and this loss caused her to lose 15 ELO points, falling from #2 to #3 in my rankings.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Andrea Petkovic, Sloane Stephens, Sabine Lisicki, Daria Gavrilova and Tatjana Maria.

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)
