The Big Gainer of the week award this week goes to Francesca Schiavone. She received a wildcard in to the main draw of Bogota, and won the whole tournament, defeating the #1 seed Kiki Bertens, as well as the #3, #4 and #6 seeds on her path to the title. This tournament gave Francesca 61 ELO rating points, and she moves up 51 places in my rankings to #90.

Special mention to Marketa Vondrousova for qualifying for and winning the tournament in Biel. She hasn't played enough to get on to my rankings yet, but if she were ranked, she'd be ranked #41 right now.

The Upset player of the week award this week goes to Timea Babos. The 3rd seed at Biel, she retired from her opening match against Evgeniya Rodina. This retirement cost Timea 13 ELO rating points, and she fell 6 places in my rankings to #46.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Johanna Larsson, Lara Arruabarrena, Anett Kontaveit, Aliaksandra Sasnovich and Sara Sorribes Tormo.
