This week's Big Gainer of the week award goes to Caroline Garcia. Unseeded at Wuhan, she won the whole tournament, defeating Angelique Kerber and Dominika Cibulkova on her way there. This title gave Caroline 54 ELO rating points, and she gained 9 places in my rankings to #13.

The Upset player of the week this week is Caroline Wozniacki. Also at Wuhan, the 4th seed had a bye to round 2, but then lost her match to a qualifier. This loss cost Caroline 17 ELO rating points, and she loses 1 place in my rankings to #4.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Alize Cornet, Varvara Lepchenko, Maria Sakkari, Kateryna Bondarenko and Magda Linette.
