Women's ELO Rankings 22/06/2015

This week saw a high quality grass court tournament held in Birmingham. With Wimbledon only 2 weeks away, players are looking to improve their grass court skills for the big tournament.

This week, our Big Gainer of the week is Angelique Kerber. With many of the top players not meeting expectations (see below for more), this tournament was a wide open opportunity to be taken advantage of, and that's exactly what Angelique did here. Winning the tournament gave her 40 ELO points, which led to a new ranking of #5, 6 places higher than last week.

Our Upset Player of the week award goes to Garbine Muguruza, she was the 9th seed here and lost in the 1st round to Magdalena Rybarikova. Maybe it was the Great British weather that caused the early loss, but early losses are to be punished whatever the cause, and Garbine lost 14 ELO points in the process and fell 4 places in my rankings to #20.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Kristina Mladenovic, Zarina Diyas, Daniela Hantuchova, Katerina Siniakova and Christina McHale.

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)
