This week's Big Gainer of the week award goes to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. She was the 6th seed at Hong Kong, and won the title there, defeating Daria Gavrilova in the final. This title gave Anastasia 37 ELO rating points, and she moves up 7 places in my rankings to #16.

The Upset player of the week this week is Petra Kvitova. She was the 2nd seed at Tianjin, but lost in the 1st round. This loss cost Petra 17 ELO rating points, and she loses 2 places in my rankings to #9.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Aryna Sabalenka, Viktorija Golubic, Jennifer Brady, Zhu Lin and Mihaela Buzarnescu.
