This week's
Player of the week is Ashleigh Barty. She was seeded 9th at Zhuhai, and won the tournament, defeating Caroline Garcia, Julia Gorges and Wang Qiang in the final. These wins gave Ashleigh 18 ELO rating points, moving her up 3 places in my rankings to #5.
This week's
Upset player of the week is Zhang Shuai. She was the 12th seed at the tournament, but she was the only player who lost both of her matches. Her losses led to Shuai losing 13 ELO rating points, and she falls 2 places in my rankings to #49.
Of the other competitors, Caroline Garcia, Wang Qiang, Garbine Muguruza and Anett Kontaveit gained ELO this week.
