Women's ELO Rankings 31/08/2020

In preparation for next week's US Open, there was a tournament held this week, not held in Cincinnati, but in New York.

The Player of the week this week is Victoria Azarenka. She won this week's tournament with wins over Donna Vekic, Johanna Konta and Naomi Osaka. These wins mean that Victoria earned 56 ELO rating points, which moves her up 7 places in my rankings to #16.

This week's Upset player of the week is Petra Kvitova. She was the 6th seed, and had a bye to round 2, but lost her opening match to Marie Bouzkova. This loss cost Petra 16 ELO rating points, but stays at #6 in my rankings.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Jessica Pegula, Christina McHale and Vera Zvonareva.
