This update's Big Gainer of the week award goes to finalist Svetlana Kuznetsova. Coming in to Miami as the 16th seed, she managed to defeat the ELO #1 Serena Williams in the 4th round, and later beat Timea Bacsinszky before losing to the new ELO #2 Victoria Azarenka in the final. This run gave Svetlana 45 ELO rating points, which sees her gain 12 places in my rankings to #11.

The Upset player of the week for this update is Venus Williams. Like all the seeds here, Venus got a bye to the 2nd round, but the 10th seed lost her 1st match to the qualifier Elena Vesnina. This loss cost Venus 15 ELO rating points, and she fell a place in my rankings to #7.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Heather Watson, Timea Babos, Magda Linette, Zarina Diyas and Kristyna Pliskova.
