  5. Japan National Championships 2017

    Last year was his first one (?) on the big stage. He actually lost to one of my coaches, a university student called Kanbara (not qualified this year !) in the first round. It will be probably his career highlight LOL So he is not seeded and has to fight from the bottom, well not exactly, he is...
  6. Japan National Championships 2017

    In ITTF competitions you would typically take the best 8 ranked players as top 8 seeds so that they would fight each other in quarter finals at the earliest. Here the seeding is based on last year's results because there is no national point ranking system

    Kazuhiro Chan yes. He was the finalist last year that is why he is at the bottom of the draw

  18. Can European players compete with the Chinese?

    Ouaiche beating the Chinese ? you must have smoked too much ... Ouaiche is talented but he tends too quickly to go back from the table and i think he lacks power. As soon as he goes a bit back, any serious player destroys him. He's a nice chap and he's very motivated but I think it will be...
