This week's Big Gainer of the week award goes to Angelique Kerber. While she was the highest ELO rated player in the tournament at Stanford, she was only the 5th seed here. Her wins over other seeded players like Agnieszka Radwanska, Elina Svitolina and Karolina Pliskova in the final led to Angelique winning the tournament, gaining 38 ELO rating point for doing so. This led to her gaining 2 places in my rankings and is now ranked #3.
The Upset player of the week this week is Caroline Wozniacki. Also playing at Stanford, she was the #1 seed but lost in her 1st match, losing 15 ELO rating points in the process. She fell 3 places in my rankings to #11 for her early exit.
Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Anastasia Payluchenkova, Alison Riske, Christina McHale, Ajla Tomljanovic and Varvara Lepchenko
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)
