Well done Jo.

By the way re the thread title I am not aware of WTA Premier 12 as any sort of general term.

Yes there are 4 Premier Mandatories, 5 Premier 5s and 12 Premiers. But Premiers is simply what they are called and so maybe we should stick to "WTA Premier".

WTA nomenclature, on their PDF of ranking points per round per level since they introduced the tier.

R32: Johanna KONTA (GBR) 46 defeated Laura SIEGEMUND (GER) 146 6-2 7-5

R16: Johanna KONTA (GBR) 46v. Carla SUÁREZ NAVARRO (ESP) 30 (CH 6, Feb. 2016)
> H2H 2-0
> 2018 Qatar, Qatar - WTA Premier 5 - Hard - R32 - Konta by 6-2 6-2
> 2016 Wuhan, China - WTA Premier 5 - Hard - R16 - Konta by 7-5 7-6(6)

Carla played quite well in Montreal & Cininnati - Her current level is pretty close to Johanna's, I find it hard to predict the match.

Jo 2018 (completed matches - excluding Fed Cup):

Up to completion of Wimbledon:
Record: 17-15 (53.13%)
Average Rank of players faced: 55.81
Average Rank of Player Defeated: 58.81
Average Rank of opponent when losing: 48.47

Since Wimbledon:Andrew Murray message board
Record: 5-3 (62.50%)
Average Rank of players faced: 50
Average Rank of Player Defeated: 69.20 (one of those was a WR95 Azarenka, and Siegemunds WR146 throws things out a bit)
Average Rank of opponent when losing: 18

If she loses against Carla, then the win % will be 55.56 % - pretty much in line with the ratio prior to the US hard court season.

So, the real world impact thus far of any perceived improvement appears slight

 interesting stats. How does it look if one compares WTA points won per event in each period , which is what the real world actually runs on....

2018 points :
to end of Wimbledon: 948
Since the above: 206

Given the types of events, frequency, points available etc, I'm not sure how to compare points. Even on a points per week basis.

You could say:
In the first level equivalent event in each phase:
Jo scored 100 points in each Premier 12
105 points in each of her first Premier 5's

105 points in her second Premier 5 in phase 1, but only 1 point in the second Premier 5 in phase 2.

But I don't think that really shows much useful.

 

NB: I have changed the thread title as instructed.

Well, the one point the stats are clearly making is that Jo has lost only to the much better players post-Wimbledon and is not losing to players around her current ranking as she was previously. So this stat does show an improvement in her performances.

Hopefully this is the normal 'viral illness' on the WTA which is usually shorthand for, 'has to give a reason for withdrawing to prepare for another tournament, and viral illness is the most widely accepted non-specific symptom that everybody tends to accept without question'.
i.e. an excuse - Kiki Bertens & Ashleigh Brty also cited a 'viral illness' when withdrawing here. I'd be pretty much astonished if all three don't appear in Flushing Meadows, and compete with skill and success, hopefully, very much including Johanna

If Jo had withdrawn before her first match I'd have totally agreed with you ABB. I'm just surprised that she played yesterday and withdrew today, so I do hope that it is nothing too serious.
