This week's Big Gainer of the week is Pablo Carreno Busta. He entered as the 16th and final seed, and won the tournament with wins over Pablo Cuevas and Andery Kuznetsov, then in the final he defeated Roberto Bautista Agut. This title gave Pablo 51 ELO rating points, and he gains 15 places in my rankings from #45 to #30.

The Upset player of the week award this week goes to Andreas Seppi. He was drawn against the lowest ranked player Jan-Lennard Struff for his 1st match, and lost. This loss cost Andreas 14 ELO rating points, and he falls 6 places in my rankings to #53.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are John Millman, Yen-Hsun Lu, Stephane Robert and Diego Schwartzman.
