I'm assuming there are no doubles in the All-Star Japanese match? Ishikawa, Nagasaki & Hayata = triple lefties in the same team?

Theoretically they could, but in reality they have never changed up their lineups whenever doubles are involved in team tournaments after the addition of Harimoto (e.g. Team World Cups 2018 and 2019). That said, it has always been two righties and a lefty in those tournaments. Two lefties and...

Which earns him a stare down from Ma Long.

I think the greater concern is if they can survive to even meet China with the proposed format of going into every stage with only four matches that they have any chances of winning. Call me pessimistic but Mizutani/Niwa seems like a recipe for disaster not because they are both lefties but...

Wells, Harimoto has not really proven himself capable of scoring two points in team tournaments against non-Chinese opponents so I'm sure they can afford to make him play doubles (granted he's not great in that either) and make the line-up more 'flexible'. Team World Cup 2018: Harimoto 2-3...

1100h – Bronze Medal Match 1930h – Gold Medal Match

All hopes lie with Hirano now. Hopefully CXT is imitating the 2017 Asian Champs version.

I am a little disappointed by the team event though. It feels like they are setting up Team 1 to win by forcing Team 2 to stick to SMY as first singles (which frankly is quite an insult to Ito's game) and the lack of synergy between members of the other teams (especially for doubles) are quite...

The same can be said for Mu Zi and Wu Yang unfortunately.

Seems like LJK was intentionally withdrawing the truth previously, as he finally revealed that the change to red rubber for his FH was suggested by Liu Guoliang after winning the MS event...

But to win, they will probably have to abandon the 'official' Japanese lineup as it's not wise to let SMY ('Ito') assume the role of first singles (matches 2 & 4 or 2 & 5 depending) since she is still miles away from the real deal. I do however believe that the Chinese version of Ishikawa/Hirano...
