The 4-year contract (rather than 5-year) rumor turned out to be true.

This is going to be cutting it real close for 2025 All Japan Doubles which runs Jan 30 - Feb 2. Sato/Hashimoto are listed and are the overwhelming favorites for the coveted All Japan Women's Doubles title. Doubles at the 2025 Singapore Smash starts on Feb 3. Maybe they get a 1st round bye?

シンガポールスマッシュのエントリーリスト見たら北のキムは本選、ピョンは予選から出るのか
ドローで引いちゃった相手は冷たい汗かくな
雨玲には是非とも本選に勝ち上がって来て欲しい
(Looking at the entry list for Singapore Smash, Kim of North will be in the main draw and Pyon will be in the qualification draw
The opponents who get drawn will be in a cold sweat
I really want Yuling to win and advance to the main draw)

金琴英来了？ (Kim Kum Yong is coming?)

(Danger! SYS in danger at Singapore! With double insurance of Harimoto Miwa and Kim Kum Yong, I say Silver Sha can't even market it and I guess her muscle cramps will be more severe)

(Isn't Hayata injured? Joined just for fun and 1st round exit at Fukuoka, why still playing competitions?)

 

[Vlad Celler]

I wonder... Why is Mima Ito listed here but not in Doha?

 

[zeio]

Given the Watanabe has the say on who of the JNT players to send to international competitions, it's possible Hayata and Ito fell through and the latter refuses to pay out of her pocket...

 

[Peter93]

No more Kim Kum Yong or Yang Xiaoxin on the entrants list. Yang still hasn't played since the China Smash last year, nor has she competed in any club matches in Poland or in the Champion's league this season.

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

Looks like Miyuu KIhara and Kuai Man got wildcards/nominations.

Plus QTY of CHN at 10. Then in 11-20, you've also got 2 CHN (KM, SXY) and 2 JPN (Hirano, Kihara)

Great 3-2 win for Jinnipa Sawettabut over a solid Li Yu-Jhun.

USA's Sally Moyland takes down a very good player, Izabela Lupulesku, 3-0!
