This week's Big Gainer of the week award goes to Peng Shuai. Benefiting from a withdrawal by Agnieszka Radwanska in the quarter finals, she won the whole tournament in Tianjin as a wildcard! This title gives Shuai 62 ELO rating points, which sees her climb 68 places in my rankings to #60.

This week's Upset player of the week is Elena Vesnina. Also at Tianjin, the 3rd seed didn't have as much luck as the big gainer did, as she lost her opening match to qualifier Shelby Rogers. This loss cost Elena 14 ELO rating points, and she falls 4 places in my rankings to #23.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Viktorija Golubic, Kristina Mladenovic, Alison Riske, Danka Kovinic and Han Xinyun.

Now, the full rankings.
