The Player of the week award this week goes to Pauline Parmentier. She was the 8th seed at Quebec City, and won the title by defeating Jessica Pegula in the final. This title gave Pauline 47 ELO rating points, and she gains 32 places in my rankings to #58.

This week's Upset player of the week is Aryna Sabalenka. Also at Quebec City, she was the top seed, but lost in the 1st round to Varvara Lepchenko. This loss meant that Aryna lost 16 ELO rating points, and she falls 4 places in my rankings to #21.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Hsieh Su-Wei, Amanda Anisimova, Magda Linette, Heather Watson and Anna Karolina Schmiedlova.
