Women's ELO Rankings 05/03/2018

I've been back from holiday for over a week now, so we return to regular service. Many players were preparing for Indian Wells, which starts next week, but there was 1 tournament on the WTA Tour this week, in Acapulco.

This week's Player of the Week award goes to Lesia Tsurenko. She was the 7th seed, and went on to win the tournament, defeating Kristina Mladenovic and Daria Gavrilova on her way to the title. hese wins gave Lesia 46 ELO rating points, and she climbs 15 places in my rankings to #35.

The Upset player of the week this week is Alize Cornet. The 6th seed lost her 1st round match to a qualifier. This loss meant that Alize lost 14 ELO rating points, and she moves down 2 places in my rankings to #36.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Veronica Cepede Royg, Rebecca Peterson and Stefanie Vogele.
