The Big Gainer of the week award this week goes to Joao Sousa. He was the 7th seed at St. Petersburg, and was the one who took advantage of the upset player of the week's loss to make it to the final, with a win over Dominic Thiem on the way before losing to 2nd seed Milos Raonic. His run to the final gave Joao 35 ELO rating points, which puts him at #38 in my rankings, 17 places higher than last week.

This week's Upset player of the week is Tomas Berdych. He was the 1st seed at St. Petersburg, but lost in his 1st match (after receiving a bye) to Simone Bolelli, a loss that cost Tomas 14 ELO rating points. He fell 1 place in my rankings from #7 to #8.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Martin Klizan, Lucas Pouille, Philipp Kohlschreiber, Paolo Lorenzi and Benjamin Becker.

Now, the the full rankings. New players in my rankings are marked with "NEW" in the ± column.
