2017 Australian Open Final Update

It's the final of the Australian Open, and we're about to crown the winners of the 1st Grand Slam of the year! But before the matches start, let's take a look at the ELO ratings for the finalists, and how the semi finals affected them.

The current leaders in the Big Gainer of the tournament awards are Rafael Nadal (+43) and Mirjana Lucic-Baroni (+57). Rafael is competing in the final, and will win the award if he defeats Roger Federer, otherwise the it will go to Mischa Zverev. In the Women's race, Mirjana lost her semi final, but she can still win the award if Serena Williams takes the title, otherwise Venus Williams will win it on a tiebreaker.

But before the rankings, some stats I calculated for the top 150 players after the jump:
