The Big Gainer of the week award this week goes to Agnieszka Radwanska. She won the high quality tournament in Tokyo as the 7th seed, with wins over Karolina Pliskova and Belinda Bencic among others. Her victory gave Agnieszka 44 ELO rating points, which puts her at a new ranking of #7, 1 place higher than last week.

This week's Upset player of the week is Andrea Petkovic. She was seeded 2nd at Guangzhou, but lost in the 1st round to Monica Puig. This loss cost Andrea 14 ELO rating points, and she fell 3 places in my rankings to #27.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Jelena Jankovic, Yanina Wickmayer, Denisa Allertova, Alison Van Uytvanck and Aliaksandra Sasnovich.

Now, the the full rankings. New players in my rankings are marked with "NEW" in the ± column.
