This week's Player of the week is Belinda Bencic. She won the tournament in Dubai, beating seeds Aryna Sabalenka, Simona Halep, Elina Svitolina and Petra Kvitova in the final. This title earned Belinda a huge 72 ELO rating points, moving her up 20 places in my rankings to #28.

This week's Upset player of the week is Naomi Osaka. Also at Dubai, she was the top seed, but she lost in the 2nd round to Kristina Mladenovic, after getting a bye in round 1. This loss meant that Naomi lost 17 ELO rating points, staying at #7 in my ratings this week.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Hsieh Su-Wei, Alison Van Uytvanck, Viktoria Kuzmova, Jennifer Brady and Kateryna Kozlova.
