This week's Player of the Week award goes to Timea Babos. She won the weaker tournament in Taipei as the 4th seed, taking advantage of early exits for the top 3 seeds. This title gave Timea 43 ELO rating points, and she gains 18 please on my rankings to a new ranking of #41.

The Upset player of the week this week is Caroline Garcia. She was the 4th seed at Saint Petersburg, but after a bye to round 2, she lost her opening match to a qualifier. This loss meant that Caroline lost 16 ELO rating points and she falls 3 places in my rankings to #8.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Kristina Mladenovic, Magda Linette, Kateryna Kozlova, Wang Yafan and Elena Rybakina.
