First time ever China drops the girls' singles title since the inception of WJTTC in 2003. Also, first time ever we have an all-Japan final.

More or less how it unfolded in Japan Open 2018. Harimoto off to 3-nil start, then dropped next 2, and won the 6th.

As I've always said, the competition was so weak.

TV Tokyo put up a dedicated page last week. https://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/tabletennis_roadtotokyo2020/

Funny comment on 5ch. Is Niwa almost confirmed as a representative? There are at least 7-8 people in Japan who are stronger than Niwa, but I'm not sure I've never heard that 90% of making the Olympics boils down to the element of luck, even though luck is part of one's strength.

Harimoto, LYJ and Kanak: WTH are you 2, WCQ and Moregard?

Boll 10:7, 10:12...

Hayata thinks of the World Tour as the CTTSL, having played CNT players 17 times this year, most-ever in her career. Up against China 6 times in a row since Korea Open in July, it was in the summer that she swept away the underdog mentality. Last year, she'd think "China again? Tough draw."...

http://mao.5ch.net/test/read.cgi/pingpong/1575024140/l50 I don't know the XD yet Mizutani/Ito will likely be selected but there is still a small possibility that Harimoto/Hayata will be chosen Mizutani's injury and results It will depend on Hayata's singles results Hayata is getting used to...

More like XD. http://mao.5ch.net/test/read.cgi/pingpong/1575024140/l50 It's hopeless, whether it be Mizutani or Yoshimura LOL The MT has effectively ended the moment Niwa is in

Now that Niwa has reached the QF in the MWC, Mizutani will have to reach the SF at the WTGF. If I can't make the Tokyo Olympics, then it'll be my time to retire. - Jun Mizutani

And because of Gauzy, XX will never play singles in the Olympics. JNT: What to give up, MT or XD? Goodbye fist to Mizutani again!

Same thing a year later.

The draw for Tokyo 2020 will be done with separation by association. That means Ito will meet the 3rd/4th seeded CNT player 100% in the SF even if she is the 2nd seed.

Ito's interview after T2. She said she played at 30-40% of her level because she couldn't get enough quality sleep, due to the humidity in Singapore. She kept waking up every hour. In the past, she wouldn't be able to get back from 0-2 down playing at 30-40%, but she's more confident that she...

Whatever the case, they'll consider the results in 2019 only when 2 players have the same ranking points for the singles event. Given Miyazaki's stance, Ito playing in the doubles will not happen. Therefore, it'll be either Ishikawa or Hayata. If Ishikawa gets the 2nd spot, Hayata will be out...
