Thread about Japanese Players

Looks more and more likely that the remaining spots for 2026 ATTU and 2027 WTTC will be filled up by Hayata, Odo, and Hashimoto/Sato.

Personally I'd like for both choppers to go but Hayata is way ahead of everyone else and Odo is pretty much guaranteed to finish ahead of the chopping duo everytime they clash.

Hence my verdict. Why do you think Hayata made that desperate but calculated move at WTT CS Yokohama 2025 (R16 3-2 Harimoto, QF 2-4 CXT), after coming up short at USA GS 2025 (QF 3-4 CY) and then WTT CT Lagos 2025 (R32 0-3 S. Akula)?

That’s me. Okayama Rivets might win the tournament next season. If none of the players are injured I expect the final will be Okayama Rivets vs Kinoshita.

With Tomo and Sora in the same team both players might improve their performance in WTT/ITTF tournaments.
