The Big Gainer of the week award this week goes to Mona Barthel. She qualified for Prague, and then won the entire tournament, defeating Zhang Shuai and Barbora Strycova in the main draw among others! This tournament gave Mona 57 ELO rating points, and she gains 37 places in my ranking to #46.

The Upset player of the week award this week goes to Karolina Pliskova. The #1 seed at Prague, she lost her opening match at the tournament. This loss cost Karolina 16 ELO rating points, and she falls 1 place in my rankings to #4.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Sara Errani, Camila Giorgi, Kristyna Pliskova, Varvara Lepchenko and Francesca Schiavone.
