Ranking Notes

 

We actually had some pretty good moves this week — except that they were all below the Top Hundred. Elina Svitolina, the Pune champion, rose 27% (to #114). The player she beat in the final, Kimiko Date-Krumm, rose 18% (to #119). Tamarine Tanasugarn gained 14% (to #133). Andrea Petkovic improved 12% (to #126). We would also mention Madison Keys, who is having quite a good run and who won Phoenix this year — but who gained just 7%, to #138.

 

Other than Karatantcheva, no one in the Top Hundred fell more than 7%.

 

Our Personal Picks for “Best Mover of the Week”

 

These are subjective picks!

 

With no one in the Top Hundred having gained more than 5%, we aren’t going to give an award this week.
