Just to close this out, I updated my "dual season games won-lost" spreadsheet, and here's where each player stands overall (note: this is for all matches at any singles line, so Arbuthnott's 85-67 total is made up of her 12-5 total at #1 and her 73-62 total at #2, for example)

In order of primary singles line:

1. Gordon, 64-62, 50.79%
2. Arbuthnott, 85-67, 55.92%
3. Blake, 96-61, 61.15%
4. Shin, 71-73, 49.31%
5. Choy, 98-43, 69.5%
6. Higuchi, 91-49, 60.91%
7. Madurawe, 12-2, 85.71%

Best to worst:

1. Madurawe, 12-2, 85.71%
2. Choy, 98-43, 69.5%
3. Blake, 96-61, 61.15%
4. Higuchi, 91-49, 60.91%
5. Arbuthnott, 85-67, 55.92%
6. Gordon, 64-62, 50.79%
7. Shin, 71-73, 49.31%

Average result:
Note: the idea here is what those games won-lost numbers equate to for an average match. 

Gordon: Winning a third-set tiebreaker
Arbuthnott: 7-5, 7-6
Blake: 6-4, 6-4 
Shin: Losing a third-set tiebreaker
Choy: 6-3, 6-2
Higuchi: 6-4, 6-4 
Madurawe: 6-1, 6-1 (the score of the only dual match she's had)

Based on the results so far, I think it's reasonable to say that our questions about Arbuthnott at the #2 line have largely been resolved. She's played pretty well overall, notwithstanding this most recent drubbing by the #2 player in the country. You're supposed to get drubbed by the #2 player in the country. 

In short, Arbuthnott is solid for us and is more likely to lose than Lord was last year, but she's not as much of a liability as I'd feared. On the other hand, Shin hasn't resolved any doubts at all. She can beat lesser players but is often overmatched. 

Meanwhile, Angelica Blake has been outstanding at #3, and Sara Choy and Emma Higuchi have been nearly unstoppable on the last two courts. The way Choy has been playing, it's hard not to see her passing Shin next year in the lineup. (Theoretically: 1 - Gordon; 2 - Blake; 3 - Choy; 4 - Houghton; 5 - Shin; 6 - Madurawe)
