WTT Star Contender Bangkok 2024 July 2-7

If you're getting Contender fatigue and while we wait for the main draw, perhaps a teams event for a change of pace. The Asian Youth Championship is going on. As I type this the U19 Boys Teams event is in its final stage with China vs. S. Korea. China is up 2-1, with 4th match being Oh Junsung vs. Wen Ruibo tied at a game apiece:

It's over now. China as expected wins U19 BT 3-1. However, China did not win everything. Japan beat China in U15 BT 3-2 in the SF before beating Iran 3-0 in the Finals.

I wonder how far Mima Ito can go...
Will she be able to stay in the top 10 of the rankings...
Although it doesn't really matter to her anymore, apparently....

There really should be a separate thread for the Asian Juniors, that one of the Korean junior lefties beat Ruibo Wen is very impressive.

Again deviating from the wtt bangkok but on the topic of youth championships how did Sun Yang get on? his playstyle is awesome

I think only Adriana Diaz has a realistic chance of unseating Mima Ito from the top 10 based on the results of this tournament. Adriana actually has a pretty good draw up until the SF where she would meet Miwa. The other Japanese women are in the opposite half and she has a 3-1 record against SYB.

atm he has only lost to Kazuki Yoshiyama at the teams event, that should say sth about his formidability. Yesterday he even won a Korean 3rd player 3-0 with the final set being 23-21

Uda's run from 3-7 to 12-10 in the last set is great, Joao's backhand caused some serious trouble for him

Tanaka with a solid 3-0 win, except for Harimoto who has already debuted in the previous generation he is the most consistent new gen player I've seen in JNT. Can rally at pretty much any range, even lob quite consistently when needed plus good transition between defense/attack
