Didn't have time but this news broke out a week ago.
苟仲文/Gou Zhongwen, the one responsible for the 劉國梁事件/LGL incident, is being investigated for severe violations of regulations and laws (AKA corruption charges 9 times out of 10).
That essentially means LGL and in turn QZJ will be fine...

Yokoi got pinned down by Lutz's BH serve to deep BH and short FH and failed to adjust the whole match. What's even more deflating is that she got trumped in both FH AND BH exchanges. Despite the score line, Yokoi never had the lead...
On Cheng Hsien-Tzu's condition, here is what she had to say back in 2021.

So you're implying Aruna does not care about his family as much, which was also one of his arguments for not playing WTT CS Incheon 2024? As I noted in that link, you can't have it both ways.
You may want to check out the seeding again, which will be based on the WR on 7/16. Ito blocking Hirano out of QF at Singapore Smash 2024 is starting to hurt. Hirano fending off Ito at Zennihon Takkyu 2024 instead of playing WTT SCT Doha, CT Doha and SCT Goa 2024 is starting to haunt. The...

Not looking good for Yokoi. More evidence that points toward my projection.

The ZPP on Abiodun for being late to WTTC 2024 is still in effect yet Aruna gets away with his, with both violations of the same nature in essence. Where is the racial discrimination argument? Where is the incompetent NTTF argument?
If NTTF can't gather a team, then that spot should be given...
Exactly the opposite is true. This is the tournament that led to the addition of points for team events, which has a substantial effect on the seeding for singles events. If it weren't for this event and what happened subsequently, many of those players, 2 from TPE, will potentially be ranked...
Keep in mind this wouldn't have happened had the players not whined about team events carrying no points. Now that points are allocated, players are accountable for any consequences. With rights come responsibilities...

Ticket revenue actually goes to the LOC as stated on the WTT site. This was confirmed by 周到/Zhou Dao, WTT世界乒联中国媒体总监、ITTF亚洲媒体主管/WTT China Media Director (?), ITTF Asia Media Manager (?) and former CCTV5 reporter, at a seminar in 3/2024.
Bumping this up since I just noticed the ZPP for WTTC 2024 upon Aruna has been retracted in the latest ranking. The ZPP for WTT CS Incheon 2024 remains.
