This week's Player of the week is Bianca Andreescu. She qualified for Auckla,d and made it to the final there, defeating Caroline Wozniacki, Venus Williams and Hsieh Su-Wei before losing to Julia Gorges. These results earned Bianca 50 ELO rating points, but she hasn't played enough to be ranked on my ratings yet. She would be at #63 if she were ranked today.

This week's Upset player of the week is Caroline Garcia. She was the 2nd seed at Shenzhen, but lost her 1st round match to qualifier Ivana Jorovic. This loss cost Caroline 17 ELO rating points, and she falls 4 places in my rankings to #13.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Alison Riske, Vera Zvonareva, Wang Yafan, Viktoria Kuzmova and Sara Sorribes Tormo.
