Women's ELO Rankings 15/02/2016

Last week was Fed Cup week, so no WTA tournaments were held, but this week we resume the tennis action with tournaments in Saint Petersburg and Kaohsiung.

This week's Big Gainer of the week award goes to Roberta Vinci. As the 2nd seed in Saint Petersburg, she was expected to reach the final, but she did one better and won with a win over Belinda Bencic in the final. Her victories gave Roberta 39 ELO rating points, which sees her climb 10 places in my rankings to #18.

This week's Upset player of the week is Barbora Strycova. She was also at Saint Petersburg, but was an unseeded player there. She lost in the 1st round to a low ranked qualifier, which cost Barbora 13 ELO rating points. She is now ranked #40, 6 places lower than last week.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Anastasija Sevastova, Hseih Su-wei, Misaki Doi, Yulia Putintseva and Kateryna Kozlova.
