Men's ELO Rankings 15/01/2018

As players were preparing for the Australian Open (see my predictions for the grand slam here), there were 2 tournaments on this week, in Sydney and Auckland.

This week's Player of the Week is Daniil Medvedev. He won the tournament in Sydney as a qualifier, defeating Philipp Kohlschreiber and Fabio Fognini on his way to the title. This tournament gave Daniil 53 ELO rating points, and he gains 24 places in my rankings to #39.

This week's Upset player of the week is Jack Sock. The top seed at Auckland, he received a bye to round 2 but then lost his first match to Peter Gojowczyk. This loss cost Jack 14 ELO rating points, and he moves down 1 place in my rankings to #18.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Benoit Paire, Alex De Minaur and Paolo Lorenzi.
