Women's ELO Rankings 27/07/2015

As the summer holidays start for most of the northern hemisphere, the Tennis world doesn't get a break, there are 2 WTA tournaments on this week, in Istanbul and Bad Gastein.

The Big Gainer of the week this week is Lesia Tsurenko. She won the tournament in Istanbul, beating Daria Gavrilova in the 1st round, in a tournament where the seeded players did poorly (see below). Lesia was the one to take advantage, and gained 52 ELO rating points for doing so, which puts her at a new ranking of #42, 153 places higher than last week!

Last week Serena took it, this time, the Upset player of the week award goes to her sister Venus Williams. When the top 3 seeds went out in the 1st round of a tournament, something clearly went wrong for those players, but the award can only go to 1 player, and it goes to the top seed this time. Venus lost 14 ELO rating points for her loss, and fell to #17 on my rankings, down 3 from #14 last week.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Samantha Stosur, Karin Knapp, Urszula Radwanska, Magdalena Rybarikova and Darya Kasatkina.

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)
