This week's Player of the week is Sara Sorribes Tormo. She got in to the draw as a lucky loser, and then went on to win the whole tournament, defeating Sloane Stephens and Ekaterina Alexandrova in the final. This title meant that Sara gained 53 ELO rating points, and she climbs 20 places in my rankings to #26.
This week's Upset player of the week is Barbora Krejcikova. The 2nd seed at Cleveland lost her first round match to lucky loser Clara Tauson. This loss meant that Barbora lost 14 ELO rating points, and she moves down 4 places in my rankings to #16.
Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Tatjana Maria and Zhu Lin.
