The first Big Gainer of the week award this season is awarded to Grigor Dimitrov. He was the 7th seed in Brisbane, and won the title with wins over Dominic Thiem, Milos Raonic and a win over Kei Nishikori in the final. These wins gave Grigor 51 ELO rating points, and he moves up 10 places in my rankings to #11!

The Upset player of the week this week is Marin Cilic. He was the top seed in Chennai, but after getting a bye to the 2nd round, he lost his opening match to qualifier Jozef Kovalik. This loss cost Marin 17 ELO rating points, which sees him fall 1 place in my rankings to a new ranking of #8.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Fernando Verdasco, Daniil Medvedev, Benoit Paire, Dudi Sela and Jordan Thompson.

Now, the full rankings.
