The Player of the week this week is Kaia Kanepi. She made it to the final of the Gippsland Trophy by beating the Upset player of the week below, Karolina Muchova and Ekaterina Alexandrova before losing to Elise Mertens. These results earned Kaia 53 ELO rating points, moving her up 21 places in my rankings to #37.

This week's Upset player of the week is Aryna Sabalenka. The 4th seed at the Gippsland Trophy had a bye to round 2, but then lost to the player who went on to be this week's Player of the week above. This loss meant that Aryna lost 17 ELO rating points, and she falls 1 place in my rankings to #5.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Shelby Rogers, Marie Bouzkova, Nadia Podoroska, Irina-Camelia Begu and Jasmine Paolini.
