This week's Big Gainer of the week award goes to the tournament winner, Elena Vesnina. She was the 14th seed at Indian Wells, and defeated  Angelique Kerber, Venus Williams and Svetlana Kuznetsova on her way to the title. These wins gave Elena 68 ELO rating points, and she moves up 15 places in my rankings to #16.

This week's Upset player of the week is Ekaterina Makarova. Unseeded at the tournament, she lost her 1st round match to a qualifier. This loss cost Ekaterina 14 ELO rating points, and she fell 2 places in my rankings to #25.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Katerina Siniakova, Kristyna Pliskova, Pauline Parmentier, Sara Sorribes Tormo and Kayla Day.
