Women's ELO Rankings 28/08/2017

The US Open is starting next week, and I shall be posting some predictions for the tournament later, but before then, let's look at how last week ended up. There was only 1 tournament this week, held in New Haven.

This week's Big Gainer of the week is Daria Gavrilova. Unseeded at New Haven, she won the whole tournament, defeating the top 2 seeds Agnieszka Radwanska and Dominika Cibulkova in the last 2 rounds. This title gave Daria 44 ELO rating points, and she moves up 17 places in my rankings to #14.

The Upset player of the week award this week goes to Petra Kvitova. She was the 3rd seed at the tournament, but she lost in the 1st round. This loss cost Petra 16 ELO rating point, and she falls 2 places in my rankings to #9.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Zhang Shuai and Elise Mertens.
