This week's Player of the week is Kiki Bertens. The 7th seed won this week's tournament, beating Anastasija Sevastova, Petra Kvitova, Sloane Stephens and the new ELO #1 Simona Halep in the final. These wins earned Kiki 50 ELO rating points, and she moves up 5 places in my rankings to #5.

This week's Upset player of the week is Elina Svitolina. The 6th seed at Madid, however, lost in the 1st round to Pauline Parmentier. This loss meant that Elina lost 17 ELO rating points, and she falls 1 place in my rankings to #7.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Kateryna Kozlova and Zheng Saisai.
