Men's Rank± ELO

21-5016
51-10034
101-150-36

Women's Rank± ELO

51-100-13
101-150-54

Naomi Osaka was ranked outside the top 10 before the start of the tournament, so the Women's numbers will change after the final.

The winners for the Men were the top 10 ranked players, with both Novak Djokovic and Juan Martin del Potro still in the tournament, while the losers were the 101-150 group, despite a decent performance from Mikhail Kukushkin/

For the Women, the best performers were the 21-50 group with finalist Naomi Osaka and Anastasija Sevastova performing strongly, on the other hand, the 101-150 group did badly here, though Rebecca Peterson did well this tournament.

Now, my final ELO ratings and estimated percentage chances of winning:
