The Big Gainer of the week award for this week goes to Lara Arruabarrena. She won the tournament in Seoul, with wins over Johanna Larsson and Monica Niculescu in the final. This tournament gave Lara 53 ELO rating points, and she gains 49 places in my rankings to #48.

This week's Upset player of the week is Karolina Pliskova. As the 3rd seed in Tokyo, she got a bye to the 2nd round, but she lost her 1st match to Aliaksandra Sasnovich. This loss cost Karolina 17 ELO rating points, but she stays at #5 in my rankings this week.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Caroline Wozniacki, Lesia Tsurenko, Zhang Shuai, Patricia Maria Tig and Anett Kontaveit.

Now, the full rankings.
