This week's Big Gainer of the week is Kiki Bertens. She was the 15th seed at the tournament, and made it all the way to the semi finals before losing to Simona Halep. This run gave Kiki 41 ELO rating points, and she gains 23 places in my rankings to #39.

The Upset player of the week award this week goes to Angelique Kerber. The #1 seed at Rome received a bye to the 2nd round, but then she lost her opening match. This loss cost Angelique 15 ELO rating points, and she fell 3 places in my rankings to #7.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Anett Kontaveit and Mona Barthel.
