2025 All Japan (Emperor's/Empress's Cup) 1/21-1/26

[driversbeat]

Why does Miwa bother with juniors when she's already All Japan senior and Asian champs runner-up?

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

maybe she wanted to play Mende ?

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

Yet another valiant effort from Rin Mende, but Hayata gets through. Rin had to play Miku Matsushima, chopper Saya Yamamuro, Miwa, and Hayata in relatively quick succession. And she played Hayata really well.

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.

Ito is beating Ando worse now than she did in her heydays......

Togami 3-4 Tanigaki

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

Kihara 3-4 Shibata
Nagasaki 1-4 Odo
Hirano 4-2 Seiji
Yokoi 3-4 Ayano

WTTC 2025 team (Golden Gen + Miwa + Odo) survives.

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

Also both Hayata and Ito won! Looks like Hirano vs Ito next!?

 

[zeio]

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

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