Women's ELO Rankings 11/01/2021

We begin the new tennis season with a tournament held in Abu Dhabi, as players prepare for 2 weeks of quarantine in Australia to allow the Australian Open to take place this year.

The Player of the week this week is Veronika Kudermetova. She made it to the final of this week's tournament, beating Anett Kontaveit and Elina Svitolina before losing to Aryna Sabalenka. These results earned Veronika 42 ELO rating points, moving her up 14 places in my rankings to #23.

This week's Upset player of the week is Jennifer Brady. The 11th seed here lost her 1st round match this week. This loss meant that Jennifer lost 14 ELO rating points, and she falls 3 places in my rankings to #22.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Paula Badosa, Marta Kostyuk, Sara Sorribes Tormo and Tamara Zidansek.
