WTT Contender Taiyuan-2026 (7 - 12 April 2026)

[andymagata]

Pokerface Hitomi actually smiled a few times during her semifinal. Her back to the table block was extra special. When she played Feeder last year it was her opponents that smiled in disbelief when she returned everything.

So this is what Mizutani meant when players post about their wins on social media.

Just 5 hours after posting on her Instagram her win over Hirano with an applause emoticon, Hashimoto posted her loss at the hands of Odo with a crying emoticon and an apology for that score to her supporters... LOL

(Did Hashimoto even try her best? The score is just too outrageous)

Another proof that the 2024 WD Asian Champs were WR1 in name only.

5ch users couldn't be more disappointed by Odo/Yokoi.

Sato-senpai ganbare!!!

 

[John Birkin]

I begin to grasp what all the fuss is about regarding Japanese team selections. I’m really not sure why Satsuki Odo isn’t there! Hitomi Sato could also have been a contender.

It's clear now Hashimoto didn't play for real.

You can't judge by her recent matches only. Odo produced the worst results against non-CNT and non-JNT players in 2025 among top JNT players.

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

Congratulations Satsuki Odo

 

[Metaxa]

As if it were nothing, with ease. She somehow managed to hit an incredible number of balls across the table. It was as if she were testing out practice balls.

 

[Janard]

Is WRB annoyed with Maharu's serves or the crowd?

 

[joshmak10]

WEN RUIBO LESSS GOOOOOOOOO

Dunno why he's not going to London after he showed he can win tournaments while Xiang Peng who is going to London loses in the first round in straight games. Congrats to Ruibo! Him, my GOAT WCQ, and LSD will be a formidable trio for Team China soon!

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

Hitomi Sato will move up 1 spot on the rankings for her Finalist finish here #24 -> #23.

Well deserved! Only Odo and Yuling are able to beat her 2026?

 

[zeio]

Other than his poor BH block and WRB's smash-like loops, Yoshimura attributes the loss to Taiyuan's elevation (only 800m on average).

Japanese team selection is competitive and the trials were won by a surprising player (Rin Mende). That brought it down to Odo vs Nagasaki and the committee went with Nagasaki. And strictly speaking, this was just after Nagasaki had beaten Wang Yidi and Odo had a period of underperformance after failing to defend her Montpellier title so her raning and Nagasaki's have been in the 10-20 range. Odo also didn't play the trials because she got too far into Chennai and while we don't know whether that played a role or not, it is important to reward the people who are actively trying to qualify when things are close. But since she didn't play the main event that would have given her a chance to book her place and also lost in the quarter finals at thr national champs, the same stage Nagasaki lost. Nagasaki at least lost to Harimoto while Odo lost to Kihara.

That said, the bigger goals are the singles world championships in 2027 and the Olympica in 2028. With the smashes in play for world ranking, national team selections are not as big a deal as they used to be as you can always make up the points elsewhere with your quality of play. So I think Odo is largely fine and will be clearly back on the first national team fairly soon if she does well at a Smash event or Champions event. She will get her chances unless Mima Ito figures out a magical way to preserve her points falling off by the end of this month

It is the JNT logjam , too many players competing for too few spots. But they are all arguably top 15 players by quality.

The elevation didn't matter when he was winning?

XP has largely been disappointing, that I agree with. But don't get ahead of yourself with Ruibo, he hasn't shown that extra finesse / X-factor that WCQ's game possesses. He was lost in the matches against Felix and LYJ. That's a bad sign.
