The Big Gainer of the week award this week goes to Francesca Schiavone. She had fallen down the rankings over the last year, and was the lowest ranked player in my ratings coming in to the tournament in Rio de Janeiro, but she upset the odds and won the title! This gave Francesca 55 ELO Rating points, which saw her climb 36 places in my rankings to #94.

This week's Upset player of the week is Karolina Pliskova. Every one of the seeded players lost their 1st match at Dubai, but Karolina's loss was the worst. The 6th seed lost 14 ELO rating points, and fell 2 places in my rankings to #12.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Sara Errani, Barbora Strycova, Caroline Garcia, Madison Brengle and Coco Vandeweghe.
