Women's ELO Rankings 22/02/2021

Over the past 2 weeks, there were 2 tournaments held in Melbourne; the Australian Open, the 1st Grand Slam of the year, and a smaller tournament in the 2nd week.

The Player of the week for the 2 weeks is Karolina Muchova. She was the 25th seed, and made it to the semi finals of the Australian Open by beating Karolina Pliskova, Elise Mertens and ELO #1 Ashleigh Barty before losing to Jennifer Brady. This run earned Karolina 47 ELO rating points, which sees her climb 12 places in my rankings to #21. Special mention to Daria Kasatkina for winning the other tournament, and over both weeks she gained 58 ELO rating points and 16 places to #24.

This 2 week's Upset player of the week award goes to Victoria Azarenka. She was the 12th seed at the Australian Open, but she lost her first round match. This loss cost Victoria 15 ELO rating points, but she gains 1 place in my rankings to #10 somehow. Another dishonourable mention goes to Sofia Kenin for losing her opening match in the other tournament, which meant that over both weeks, she lost 28 ELO rating points and 5 places to #12.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Jessica Pegula, Hsieh Su-Wei, Marie Bouzkova, Sorana Cirstea and Zarina Diyas.
