Women's ELO Ratings 17/08/2020

Things feel like they're getting back to normal, at least that's what it feels like on the WTA Tour, where there were 2 tournaments on this week; in Prague and Lexington.

The Player of the week this week is Jennifer Brady. She won the tournament in Lexington, defeating Magda Linette among other players. This title earned Jennifer 45 ELO rating points, which moves her up 14 places in my rankings to #36.

This week's Upset player of the week is Johanna Konta. Also at Lexington, she was the 3rd seed, bot ,ost her first round match to Marie Bouzkova. This loss meant that Johanna lost 15 ELO rating points, and she moves down 2 places in my rankings to #20.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Kristyna Pliskova, Jil Teichmann, Eugenie Bouchard, Shelby Rogers and Irina-Camelia Begu.
