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.
