The Big Gainer of the week award this week goes to Laura Siegemund. She received a wildcard to the tournament in Stuttgart, and won the title, defeating Svetlana Kuznetsova, Karolina Pliskova and Simona Halep on her way to the title. These wins gave Laura 66 ELO rating points, and she moved up 18 places in my rankings to #24.

The Upset player of the week award this week goes to Agnieszka Radwanska. She was the 7th seed at Stuttgart, but lost her 1st round match to Ekaterina Makarova. This loss cost Agnieszka 14 ELO rating points, and she fell 2 places in my rankings to #11.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Irina-Camelia Begu, Anett Kontaveit, Sorana Cirstea, Jana Cepelova and Cagla Buyukakcay.
