Women's ELO Rankings 04/05/2015

This week's post is up early because all of the matches were finished on Saturday, and next week's matches have already started. We had 2 tournaments, in Marrakesh and Prague.

The Big Gainer of the week this week is Timea Babos. Unseeded at Marrakech, she defeated many higher rated players including Flavia Pennetta until she got to the final. Her performance here led to a gain of 42 ELO points, which gave her a new ranking of #182, 54 places higher than last week.

Our Upset Player of the week, however, goes to Lucie Safarova. She was the 2nd seed at Prague, but lost in the 1st round to Tereza Smitkova another Czech tennis player. This loss caused Lucie to lose 13 ELO points, which led to a fall in my rankings of 5 places, leading to a new ranking of #17.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Elina Svitolina, Lucie Hradecka, Yanina Wickmayer, Kristina Mladenovic and Katerina Siniakova.

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)
