This week's Big Gainer of the week award goes to Zhang Shuai. She was the 2nd seed at Guangzhou, and won the entire tournament without facing any other seeded players. This title gave Shuai 42 ELO rating points, and she moves up 15 places in my rankings to #40.

The Upset player of the week this week is Daria Gavrilova. Unseeded at Tokyo, she lost in the 1st round to qualifier Magda Linette. This loss cost Daria 15 ELO rating points, which sees her fall 5 places in my rankings to #24.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Yanina Wickmayer, Beatriz Haddad Maia, Aleksandra Krunic, Richel Hogenkamp and Evgeniya Rodina.
