After the Olympics, and before the US Open, there was 1 tournament held this week, in Cincinnati.

The Big Gainer of the week award this week goes to Karolina Pliskova. She was the 15th seed, and won the whole tournament with wins over Svetlana Kuznetsova, Garbine Muguruza and Angelique Kerber. This title gave Karolina 49 ELO rating points, and she climbs 8 places in my rankings from #15 to #7.

This week's Upset player of the week is Ana Ivanovic. The seeded players here did pretty well overall, so the upset player award goes to an unseeded 1st round loser, who lost to the low rated qualifier Donna Vekic. This loss cost Ana 14 ELO rating points, and she falls 4 places in my rankings to #36.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Timea Babos, and that's it.

Now, the full rankings.
