This week's Player of the week award goes to Simona Halep. The top seed at the tournament, she received a bye to round 2, and then performed as expected by winning the title, defeating seeded players Venus Williams, Caroline Garcia, Ashleigh Barty and Sloane Stephens along the way. This title gave Simona 30 ELO rating points, and she moves up 1 place in my rankings to become the new ELO #1.

This week's Upset player of the week is Angelique Kerber. She was the 4th seed at Montreal, but lost her opening match to Alize Cornet. This loss meant that Angelique lost 16 ELO rating points, but she stays at #3 in my rankings.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are nobody. Yes, nobody significantly outperformed their expectation this week.
