This week's Big Gainer of the week award goes to Zarina Diyas. After qualifying for the tournament in Tokyo, she made it all the way, and won the whole thing by defeating Zhang Shuai and Yulia Putintseva among others. This title gave Zarina 55 ELO rating points, and she moves up 56 places in my rankings to #70.

The Upset player of the week this week is Samantha Stosur. Also in Tokyo, the 5th seed lost her 1st round match to Sara Sorribes Tormo. This loss cost Samantha 14 ELO rating points, and she fell 3 places in my rankings to #34.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Timea Babos, Christina McHale, Alison Van Uytvanck, Lucie Hradecka and Tatjana Maria
