2017 Australian Open Semi Final Update

We're now in to the semi finals of the Australian Open, so let's take a look at how the quarter finals have impacted on the rankings of the players still in.

The current leaders in the Big Gainer of the tournament awards are Mischa Zverev (+43) and Mirjana Lucic-Baroni (+60). Mischa is out of the Australian Open, but can still win the award if Roger Federer wins the tournament, otherwise the tournament winner takes it. In the Women's race, If either Mirjana or Coco Vandeweghe make the final, then whoever does better will win the award, otherwise Venus Williams will take it from Mirjana if she wins the title.

But before the rankings, some stats I calculated for the top 150 players:


Men's Rank± ELO
1-1070
11-2065
21-50-1
51-100-68
101-150-39


Women's Rank± ELO
1-108
11-2038
21-5017
51-100-77
101-15056

Now we're at the semi final stage, I'm also going to add some prediction percentages for the final and the title, based on these ratings.
