The Big Gainer of the Week this week is Angelique Kerber. Despite being a former Upset player of the week, she came back in to top form to take the title at Charleston, which gave her 49 ELO points, and a new ranking of #15, 16 place higher than last week.
This week's Upset player of the week is Eugenie Bouchard. Also playing at Charleston, she was the top seed and lost in her 1st match. This loss cost her 13 ELO points, causing a fall of 1 place in my rankings to #12.
Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Madison Keys, Anna Schmiedlova, Camila Giorgi, Lucie Hradecka and Danka Kovinic.
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)
