Women's ELO Rankings 18/03/2019

We're in to March, which means that Indian Wells and Miami, 2 of the largest non-Slam tournaments are on; and first up, let's take a look at how Indian Wells turned out.

This week's Player of the week is Bianca Andreescu. She received a wildcard to Indian Wells, and went on to win the title, beating Dominika Cibulkova, Wang Qiang, Garbine Muguruza, Elina Svitolina and Angelique Kerber to win the tournament. This title earned Bianca a MASSIVE 84 ELO rating points (which I think is a best single tournament gain since I started this blog), which moves her up 24 places in my rankings to #32.

This week's Upset player of the week is Caroline Wozniacki. The 13th seed however, lost in round 2 to Ekaterina Alexandrova after a bye in round 1. This loss meant that Caroline lost 16 ELO rating points, moving her down 4 places in my rankings to #12.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Belinda Bencic, Marketa Vondrousova, Mona Barthel, Kateryna Kozlova and Christina Mchale.
