This week's Player of the week award goes to Mihaela Buzarnescu. She was the 5th seed at San Jose, and went on to win the whole title, defeating Elise Mertens among others. This title gave Mihaela 38 ELO rating points, and she moves up 7 places in my rankings to #20.

This week's Upset player of the week is Serena Williams. When you're the ELO #1, you're expected to win your 1st match at a minimum. Her loss to Johanna Konta cost Serena 15 ELO rating points, leaving her only 3 points ahead of #2 Simona Halep.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Andrea Petkovic, Magda Linette and Zheng Saisai.
