With the French Open taking place later this month, the clay court season continues with a high quality tournament in Madrid.

The Big Gainer of the week award this week goes to Joao Sousa. In a week where the matches went mainly to expectations, the winner of this award goes to a quarter finalist. Joao was unseeded at the tournament in Madrid, and beat Jack Sock before losing to Rafael Nadal. This run gave Joao 29 ELO rating points, and sees him climb 9 places in my rankings to #48.

This week's Upset player of the week is Dominic Thiem. It probably isn't that fair to call a loss to former Grand Slam champion Juan Martin del Potro a huge upset, but it's classed as an upset in my system as I only started collecting data in 2015 (ignoring this result, David Goffin "wins" this award this week). This loss cost Dominic 14 ELO rating points, which sees him fall 5 places in my rankings to #15.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Sam Querrey and Nick Kyrgios. This week went mostly as expected.
