The Player of the week award this week goes to Aryna Sabalenka. She made it to the final of the tournament, defeating the upset player of the week (see below), Elise Mertens and Karolina Pliskova, before losing the final to Caroline Wozniacki. This performance meant that Aryna earned 60 ELO rating points, and she gained 23 places in my rankings to #34.

This week's Upset player of the week is Julia Gorges. She was the 6th seed and received a bye to round 2, but then lost her opening match to the player who went on to win my player of the week award (see above). This loss meant that Julia lost 15 ELO rating points, and she falls 3 places in my rankings to #15.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Kateryna Bondarenko, and that's it.
