This week's Player of the week is Ekaterina Alexandrova. She was the 5th seed at Shenzhen, and won the tournament, beating Wang Qiang and Grabine Muguruza among others. This title earned Ekaterina 49 ELO rating points, moving her up 19 places in my rankings to #27.

This week's Upset player of the week is Ashleigh Barty. The top seed at Brisbane received a bye to round 2, but lost to a qualifier. This loss means that Ashleigh loses 17 ELO rating points, and she falls 1 place in my rankings to #2.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Amanda Anisimova, Elena Rybakina, Jennifer Brady, Jessica Pegula and Kristyna Pliskova.
