It's an event in China, it is sometimes better to have the personal coach instead of the national team coach .WCQ might have lost the match if WH were the coach.
They are both overrated players so it doesn't matter.
On a more serious note, no, she shouldn't be able to beat Miwa tomorrow.
6 months is a long time for a 15 year old with a good vengeance record. Just saying.
Adriana beat Miwa just 6 months ago in Contender Muscat 2023.
More matches means less energy to spare and less time to rest and hence harder to adjust, but the difference is really not that much for the 3 of them in 2024 (Hayata 13 (16 if counting WTT SCT Doha 2024), Hirano 12, Ito 8 before World Cup 2024). As always, their minimum goal is to get through the others and meet the CNT players, so QF in Hirano's case. On the difficulty level, CM is now 3rd (after WMY and SYS) and Hirano has come close to winning on 2 occasions and has never lost in straight games in all 3 encounters in this cycle. In terms of past match scores in this cycle, CM is also 3rd (after WYD and SYS).Well, Hirano has more matches to play. What are your predictions for where she will get to in this event?
What ranking do you believe Hirano will have at the end of this cycle with all the opportunities she will have?
The difference is not that much, so therefore, none of them should retire even in jest.More matches means less energy to spare and less time to rest and hence harder to adjust, but the difference is really not that much for the three (Hayata 13 (16 if counting WTT SCT Doha 2024), Hirano 12, Ito 8 before World Cup 2024).

As for ranking, you're practically asking me to predict the draw, which is nigh impossible to do now with the removal of separation by association. All I can tell you is that she is top-10 material, and that like many Tieba users have said, Hirano has a higher ceiling than Hayata and Ito. As of this writing, Hirano's achievements in singles are still the most impressive and with the highest level of gold content.
WYD: I approve this comment.6 months is a long time for a 15 year old with a good vengeance record. Just saying.
To make the point a bit clearer, I am not even sure 6 months ago, Miwa had beaten Hayata.
There's been matches where Chinese guys played outside China, and if not for the fangirls, nobody cheered for the Chinese team at all.that why it is called fanboy/fangirl
crazy fans, who follow the player - internationally.
Most of what the rest of the world know, they will acknowledge a good play and still clap hands for the "opponent".
That won't come from these fan boys/girls
I think this is the first time that the Harimoto siblings get into the quarter finals and both have good chances to advancing to semifinals.Since we are in the predictions/punditry business:
Semifinalists:
Head (heart)
Kallberg (Harimoto)
Harimoto (Diaz)
Ma (Togami)
Meng (Hirano)
Wang (Hayata)
Fan (Fan):
Sun (Cheng)
Wang (Jang)
Yes. Tomokazu does have a tall order against Kallberg. Miwa against Diaz, that is more likely to be a strategy thing. But Kallberg when his game is on is just hard to beat. Even Harimoto finds Kallberg borderline unplayable.I think this is the first time that the Harimoto siblings get into the quarter finals and both have good chances to advancing to semifinals.
Here, to get you up to speed.What predictions? As far as I know you haven't made any predictions, and are in the game of post-hoc armchair quarterbacking.
How about we use this opportunity for you to make prediction on the performances of each JNT member against the CNT team in the near future. You know everything about these ladies and how they'll perform right? Then tell us.
Being able to guess at an outcome from starting conditions you’ve never seen before? That’s called intuition.
I guess you dont know these definitions.There's been matches where Chinese guys played outside China, and if not for the fangirls, nobody cheered for the Chinese team at all.
There's this awful stench from your comments that allude to rest of the world being "normal" and the Chinese being "weird", and as someone who has been to a few places, most people are the same, and have similar desires, respond to similar incentives.
As usual, good criticism is marred by jarring thinly veiled bile that one wonders what your priorities are.
True.these “fans” don’t even play TT.
Your argument is that Boll had lost every single time before meeting China. So it turned out to be an accurate prediction, but based on your own argument it was something to be expected. If you want to go back to find exactly how against expectations the prediction was, go back and calculate the implied probability of him getting to the quarterfinals and meet his first Chinese opponent. If he was a big favorite to, then then the prediction is good.Here, to get you up to speed.

Sound reasoning based on age of achievements and history to predict success of F. Lebrun over the others mentioned. No problem there.On Felix Lebrun being the only young European prospect and not Moregard and Alexis, and also Cho Daeseong catching up

Don't know the historical context there and if that was an obvious prediction or minority opinion. The thread states that he had just beaten Mizutani who was ranked #6 at the time, and that his coaches were high on him, so maybe breaking top #30 wasnt something people would've vehemently argued against.On Miwa's brother being ranked within top 30 to top 10 in 2020 and Harimoto's subsequent comment in 9/2021 on the odds of losing to top 30 players despite his very high world ranking

What exactly is the prediction here? That teenagers who have potential are more likely to eventually have wins over China than a 23 year old who has already failed at doing it in her career? Maybe some hindsight bias here but wouldn't most people agree with that concept?On Ishikawa's untimely career peak and awkward role in the team at the age of 23, with the meteoric rise of Ito and Hirano at the age of 16, especially the latter for blocking her a 5th (4th consecutive) Zennihon Takkyu title after winning World Cup 2016 and setting the stage for ATTC 2017 and WTTC 2017

You don't believe what I say about sample sizes because you've never had any financial incentive to look into the math and concepts involved in actually making predictions and suffering consequences for being right or wrong. If you actually want to put your money where your mouth is, then there's an actual accepted way among forecasters and bettors all agree on. That is whether your predictions are positive ROI (return on investment) against current market odds.As of today:
Boll has never run into a CNT player in MS at the Olympics.
Ovtcharov has not run into a CNT player in MS after WTTC 2007 and WTTC 2009. He even lost to the same player at WTTC 2019 and WTTC 2023 (skipped WTTC 2021 because of a broken leg?).
Felix is still the only young European prospect and Moregard has not lived up to being the WTTC 2021 MS vice-champion. Alexis is still a wall to his brother and starting to affect his trajectory.
Cho Daeseong is catching up for real in 2024 that people finally notice.
Miwa's brother is still working on being a true top 10 player (starting to look better in 2024).
Ishikawa has finally retired, with her career being cut short by Ito (washed up now) and Hirano (still going strong).
This took a good while to compile. I wouldn't have been able to make all these predictions if I believed what you said about sample size. Now, why don't you try to compile some stats and start to make some predictions with your human intuition instead of being bound by mathematical theorems?
