Abe is not even on the list of NT reserve player. So she can't/isn't obligated to wear the JNT uniform. http://www.jtta.or.jp/Portals/0/images/association/provision/kitei2018/35_kyoukahonbu_20180926.pdf

Odds were against Hayata yet again had it gone to the decider.

CXT was on the way up last year until the Japan Open where she lost to Ito after a 3-1 lead in games. Everything started going haywire for her after that.

The momentum Airi had built up was already gone by 8:7. Japanese coaches are still too reserved when it comes to calling TO.

Could've called the TO earlier, say 8:5.

Go Abe!!!

According to Chen Szu-Yu, there's a flu pandemic in Bulgaria right now and quite a few players have fallen ill and pulled out because of that.

Kazuhiro and Maharu Yoshimura are in the distant 4th and 5th. If Niwa doesn't make the singles, there's a good chance either of those 2 will get picked instead for the team. The issue of having more left-handers than right-handers on the national team - Harimoto, Niwa, Mizutani, Masataka, and...

Aggressive TO from Kurashima at 9:5. Commendable in the 1st 3 games. Harimoto just didn't miss much.

G2, Harimoto 0:5, 11:9 Zhu Linfeng. His FH is holding up well. Samsonov is getting toyed around by Tanaka.

Oh, Mika Baba's "coaching experience" is not to be sneezed at.

Not that I know of for Hayata. There are, however, many gossips and rumors around Ishikawa. Given the fact that Baba coached Hayata's matches here in Bulgaria Open(other Opens as well), I doubt they're at odds. As far as regulations go, the national team head coach, in this case Mika Baba, is...

Hmm, Hayata had a tough time last time.

Bad luck as it might sound, but Hayata has taken out 6 CNT players in 10 encounters so far this year. For the 4 losses, she never took less than 2 games each.

It might be a good idea for Hayata to tone down her "stance". Zhang Qiang started exploiting by serving to her deep BH midway. Who doesn't hate the WR reform? Too many great matches to catch all year round, as if the WTTC were held on a monthly basis.

Close escape for Hayata. Odds were against her had it gone to the decider...
