Sachi couldn't overcome Hana's 2 lucky edges near the end of the decider. Tough loss for Sachi, but proud of her for taking down both Chinese girls in teams. Sachi is a very intelligent player, but just wait until she develops power.

I propose an unwritten rule that for anyone named Cho (like Cho Daesong) it is always permissible to 'Cho'. Also, Kou Lei is always allowed to 'Cho', 'Cho Lei', or 'Kou Lei' whichever he prefers. Suggested baby name if he decides to have a baby: 'Cho'.

:oops:

Great win for Kaho to take the WS as well as the WD titles. Team Japan making its presence felt at the WYC and at this Feeder 2025 WTT Feeder Düsseldorf II Champions: WS Kaho Akae (JPN) WD Kaho Akae (JPN)/Rin Mende (JPN) MS Joe SeyFried (FRA) MD Kazuki Hamada (JPN)/Kanta Tokuda (JPN) XD...

Guaranteed only one Japanese in the finals of WS as all of the strongest ones are in the top half. Kaho takes out Asuka. She will meet Kyoka who took out Nina Mittelham. In the bottom half, Margaryta Pesotska took out Reina Aso, and Kim Seongjin took out Kasumi Kimura.

Kaho Akae, Asuka Sasao, Kyoka Idesawa, Kasumi Kimura, and Reina Aso all advance to the QF stage. They defeated Barbora Varady, Yang Ha Eun, Lee Daeun, Shan Xiaona, and Linda Bergstrom respectively.

Interesting to note that both Rin Mende and Miwa Harimoto, who are both eligible for U19, were not here. Miwa is clearly focused on senior events and has the XTWC coming up in a few days. Rin Mende is the WTT Feeder Dusseldorf II losing her 1st round match to compatriot Asuka Sasao. Perhaps she...

They ought give out MVP awards. Danilo Faso of Italy would get one. Sachi Aoki of Japan would get one.

Oh yes, sorry! Getting my teams mixed up. LOL.

Congratulations to Japan's U15 Girls, U15 Boys, U19 Boys on winning it all. A very hard fought battle by Japan's U19 GT, but congratulations to China's U19 GT.... I'm sure the pressure must have been incredible.

Sachi Aoki is singlehandedly keeping Japan in the U19 GT. She beat both Zong Geman and Qin Yuxuan. Whether Japan wins or lose, Sachi has been amazing!

Cocona Muramatsu started off the U15 GT finals well with a 3-1 win over highest ranked U15 player in the world, Heo Yerim.

Sachi Aoki takes down Zong Geman 3-2,11-9. Could it happen again in U19 GT? Yuna Ojio is up next against Qin Yuxuan.

https://www.worldtabletennis.com/eventInfo?eventId=3065 Kazuki Hamada and Kaho Akae are top seeds in MS and WS. In addition to Kaho, a number of Japanese women are playing here: Kyoka Idesawa, Asuka Sasao, Kasumi Kimura, Reina Aso, and Rin Mende.

There's various reasons for why the players play or don't play: injuries, personal choice, NER limits, selection trials. But ultimately, I think it comes down to performance. Hina and Mima especially have been able to maintain their high ranking for years now. Hina has had a dip this year...

OMG! What are we witnessing here?! China goes down in U19 BT, U15 BT, and U15 GT.

Japan has done it!!!!!! U15 GT 3-0 over China!

Hisa Uriu channels her inner Honoka Hashimoto and takes down Zhu Qihui who is often referred to as the next SYS. Japan up 2-0!

Whoa! Italy just went up 2-0 on China in two deciders! I never knew Italy was this good.

Cocona Muramatsu wins her match 3-1 against Liu Ziling of China to put Japan up 1-0 in U15 GT!
