I'm just genuinely curious about the rationale because it means a much more packed schedule and less energy/time to prepare for senior matches
She mostly breezed through her junior matches other than the finals. With her good seeding in WS, she won 4-0 in both of her opening matches so I think she's in good condition. Kinda greedy though :). I'd like to see Rin Mende at least get an All Japan Junior title.

Togami 3-4 Tanigaki
Tanigaki had a better game plan, consistently pulling errors out of Togami backhand and it worked in the final set. I thinks Togami fight this match mostly from experience and on-the-spot adaptation rather than having the coach telling him what to do (can't expect too much from Pugna). Well it's better to focus more on international competition rather getting called 'civil war king' again

Hirano woke up after being down for most of G5. Even all that nets and edges couldn't save Ushijima.

I (Ayano) beat Yokoi. Have been waiting for this chance. LOL

All that time spent as the sparring partner was worth it.
