Good win for Kasumi but she’s not number one in Japan. Hirano took the domestic crown from her two years ago and Ito is last year and this year champion
I’m talking about the Japan National Championships
if by any chance Japan was facing China in the final, if I was the Japanese coach , I would let Ishikawa be the N3 player and play only 1 game. But i would let her play N1 or N2 against every other nation
So if it is confirmed CHEN Meng and SUN Yingsha got their ticket through the Marvelous 12 tournament,

I think DING Ning is safe, but amoung ZHU Yuling, LIU Shiwen and WANG Manyu, one will be missing
well i want to confirm that. If both SYS and DN win they will have the same number of victories, and SYS did beat DN

OSPH great to see that you have some results from your training ! keep on !

No one from the Japanese team played in Hungary the National Championships were at the same time.
Currently the only qualified player who has real chances to beat a top Chinese player in the JNT is ITO.
Its becoming problematic for LIU Shiwen now. She is losing again, this time to SUN Minyang...
Will the coaches forget about her current form and give her the pass due to her experience and past performance ?
