The Big Gainer of the week this week is Lucie Safarova. Her ranking had fallen recently, but she went to Prague as the 2nd seed and won the tournament, with wins over Karolina Pliskova and Samantha Stosur in the semi finals and the final. This run gave Lucie 47 ELO rating points, and she climbs up 13 places in my rankings to #26.

This week's Upset player of the week award goes to Dominika Cibulkova. She was also at Prague, but as the 7th seed, she lost her 1st round match to a Lucky Loser. This loss cost Dominika 14 ELO rating points, which sees her fall 2 places in my rankings to #17.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Timea Babos, Marina Erakovic, Pauline Parmentier, Kiki Bertens and Aleksandra Krunic

Now, the full rankings.
