It’s actually not a bad idea. Challenge+ win is 1100 pts, 3rd in Asian Championship is 1170, 4th is 1080, but there are 5 top Chinese women there.

Ito & Hayata are going to the Paraguay Challenge+ 9/10-9/14.:)

Yay!!! First ever video replay assessment on edge ball !

Kato is at #29, 12 women are ahead of her and all have to withdraw before she gets a crack. Why? and what is she anyway? Unless china sends Kato as Host Exempt...very unlikely - just who is Kato?!

Btw, T2 Diamond 2nd round’s qualified players’ list is out. Cut off date July 15. https://www.ittf.com/ittf-world-tour/2019-ittf-world-tour/world-tour-standings/ Top 15 has 9 Chinese women qualified for this round, plus Host Exemption of China’s choice (#16 is Gu Yt). Top european is Szocs at #22.

First time FTW won a match against Hirano since 2016. Ironic isn't it, just Ishikawa & Kato left. Cornelia, pls make things right...

Works with someone old like Ding Ning, to tire her out. For younger ones with stamina, it’s a war of attrition. Then it’s a matter of impatience and pressure. Like the 4th game Hirano just lost.

Evolve, the game will evolve :-D Good strategy though, drag it out and force 5 pts games. As defenders they’re trained to have the patience to grind it out. :-)

Ran out of time only 2 1/2 sets. 5pts coming up!

Han up 2:0 CIC

For sure, at least to my mind. Once the composition is assured, anyone can target and meticulously study them, from Jan2020 right up to the Games, which the CNT is fully geared to do so. This JNT decision to decide the Olympic team by Jan2020 is far too soon, and flawed in so many ways. While it...

All very true. I think people are somewhat upset about kato & ishikawa got in because of CNT’s pull out, even though they didn’t qualify and shouldn’t be there. It’s the 400 pts they get at least by getting in, not the 100 pts more per round. Hope ZYL & Hirano wins tomorrow.:cool:

“I won't be surprised to see ZYL serve as the "sacrificial" lamb one more time. Let's make Ishikawa great again!” rather meaningless to do it in T2, for a mere 100 pts gain I think. Bulgaria, use the disposabls.

“...But if everything is just normal, i.e. Ishikawa lost in first round, Hirano and Ito lost in second round. Hirano and Ito will only get 100 more points than Ishikawa. Not very significant I assume?” it would only give Hirano’s total points the equivalent of a one round lead of 1 WT event...

trying to put some cuts I made on youtube, let me try it here among friends first...I have NO idea what I'm doing. :p:confused: https://youtu.be/zOChAMbuuCc hmmm...no thumbnail :confused:

138 men+176 women=314 i think everyone will be in :cool:

;) 23 JNT, 12 CNT, 11 Korean women in a european Open ;) don’t want to go to asia? Asia will come to you ;) we do deliveries, FREE shipping! ;) and GUARANTEED quality too! ;) ok...looks like only HZJ & CXT are seeded (does it actually matter?) :D:cool:

Thnx zeio ! I forgot to throw out the lowest when adding WC considerations (8 best). :o

yikes...just check after Australia, because of the Finalist position, Ito-Mizutani now have total 200 pts, and became top Japanese pair.
