Women's ELO Rankings 18/07/2016

We return to our regular schedule of weekly updates (If I post them on time), with an update from 2 WTA tour tournaments, located in Gstaad and Bucharest.

The Big Gainer of the week this week is Viktorija Golubic. She entered the tournament in Gstaad, and won the tournament, with wins over Mona Barthel in the 1st round and Kiki Bertens in the final. These wina gave Viktorija 49 ELO rating points, which sees her climb 32 places in my rankings to #37.

This week's Upset player of the week award goes to Caroline Garcia. She was also at Gstaad, as the 4th seed, but she lost her 1st match to Lara Arruabarrena. This loss cost Caroline 14 ELO rating points, which sees her fall 6 places in my rankings to #27.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Anastasija Sevastova, Danka Kovinic, Vania King, Carina Witthoft and Polona Hercog.

Now, the full rankings. (From next week onwards, names are likely to be removed from my rankings due to inactivity)
