Women's ELO Rankings 14/09/2020

Over the past 2 weeks, there were 2 tournaments held; the 2nd Grand Slam of the Year, the US Open was held over both weeks; and another tournament was held in Istanbul in the 2nd week.

The Player of the week for the 2 weeks is Tsvetana Pironkova. After getting in to the tournament with a special ranking, she made it to the quarter finals in her 1st tournament for 3 years with wins over Garbine Muguruza and Donna Vekic, before losing to Serena Williams. This run earned Tsvetana 47 ELO rating points, which would put her at #66 in my ratings if she wasn't just returning to the tour. Special mention to Patricia Maria Tig for winning the tournament in Istanbul, and also gaining 47 ELO rating points and 30 places to #66.

This 2 week's Upset player of the week award goes to Karolina Pliskova. She was the top seed at New York, but despite winning her round 1 match, her 2nd round loss to Caroline Garcia earns her thisdishonour. These results cost Karolina 13 ELO rating points, but stays at #5 in my rankings. Another dishonourable mention goes to Svetlana Kuznetsova for losing her opening match in Istanbul, which meant she lost 14 ELO rating points and 3 positions to #31.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Jennifer Brady, Shelby Rogers, Eugenie Bouchard, Caty McNally and Tereza Martincova.
