The Big Gainer of the week award this week goes to Kristina Kucova. She had to go through qualifying, and then she defeated the Upset player of the week (see below) in the 2nd round, Johanna Konta in the quarter finals before finally losing to Madison Keys in the semi finals. This run gave Kristina 47 ELO rating points, and she climbs 46 places in my rankings from #98 to #52.

This week's Upset player of the week is Carla Suarez Navarro. She was the 8th seed at Montreal, but lost her 1st match to the player who ended up as the Big Gainer of the week (see above). Carla lost 14 ELO rating points for her loss, and she falls 1 place in my rankings to #13.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, and that's about it. This week went mainly to expectations, except for the big gainer of course.

Now, the full rankings.
