This week's Big Gainer of the week award goes to Irina Falconi. She entered the tournament as the 5th seed, and won the tournament. It may have been a weak field, but as a WTA tournament, it counts just as much as any other. This victory gave Irina 54 ELO rating points, which sees her rise to #77 in my rankings, 51 places higher than last week.

The Upset player of the week for this week is Elina Svitolina. She was the top seed here, and the highest ranked player by a huge margin, but she lost her 1st match. This loss cost Elina 14 ELO rating points, and she fell 3 places in my rankings from #15 to #18.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Lara Arruabarrena, Alexandra Panova, Sachia Vickery, Silvia Soler Espinosa and Paula Cristina Goncalves.
