With the French Open only a week away, we take a look at how the last large tournament beforehand, the Italian Open in Rome, affected my ELO ratings.

This week's Player of the week is Johanna Konta. Unseeded at this tournament, she made it to the final with wins over Sloane Stephens and Kiki Bertens before losing to Karolina Pliskova. These results earned Johanna 44 ELO rating points, and she moves up 8 places in my rankings to #14.

This week's Upset player of the week is Simona Halep. She was the #3 seed at Rome, but after getting a bye to round 2, she lost the first match she played to Marketa Vondrousova. This loss meant that Simona lost 15 ELO rating points, and she loses the ELO #1 spot to Serena Williams.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Maria Sakkari and Kristina Mladenovic.
