Women's ELO Rankings 23/03/2015

It's been a long 2 weeks without an update, as there's only been 1 WTA tournament held, at Indian Wells, and there won't be another update for another 2 weeks, as they're doing the same thing again, but this time at Miami

Our Big Gainer of the Week award for these 2 weeks goes to Jelena Jankovic. She came in to Indian Wells as the 18th seed, and while she benefited partly from a not too tough draw, she won all of her matches up until she got to the final, where the ELO #1 Simona Halep was too strong for her. Jelena's run to the final got her 43 ELO points, giving her a new ranking of #19, a gain of 17 places.

For these 2 weeks, our Upset player of the Week is former big gainer Daniela Hantuchova. She was unseeded at Indian Wells and was drawn against the then lowest ranked player on my rankings, and lost the match. This loss caused her to lose 13 ELO points, and she fell 5 places in the rankings to #26.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Heather Watson, Sabine Lisicki, Sloane Stephens, Anastasia Pavyluchenkova and Lesia Tsurenko.

Now, the the full rankings. (± is for ranking, not rating. Some players who are new to the rankings will have artificially high ± scores as I add them to the bottom before sorting them in to their new position)
