The Player of the week award this week goes to Aryna Sabalenka. She won the only tournament this week, with wins over Daria Gavrilova and Julia Gorges among others. This title gave Aryna 44 ELO rating points, and she moves up 8 places in my rankings to #17.

This week's Upset player of the week is Karolina Pliskova. She was the 4th seed, but lost in the 1st round to Ekaterina Makarova. This result cost Karolina 15 ELO rating points, but she stays at #7 in my rankings.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Carla Suarez Navarro, and that's it.
