This week's
Player of the week award goes to Olga Danilovic. She got in to Moscow as a lucky loser, and won her 1st ever WTA tournament! This earned her 57 ELO rating points, a score that would put her at #55 on my rankings of active players.
This week's
Upset player of the week is Daria Kasatkina. Also at Moscow, she was the 2nd seed, but after a win in round 1, unexpectedly lost in round 2 to Tamara Zidansek. This resulted in Daria losing 13 ELO rating points, but she stays at #12 in my rankings.
Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Wang Qiang, Zhu Lin, Magda Linette, Zheng Saisai and Anastasia Potapova.
