How does any of this explain how PDR kept Hirano from improving her ranking and how does this explain why she cannot be seeded when people like Hayata, Ito and Harimoto can be and and are? You are the one wasting time by continually defending someone with an argument that absolves her of any...

Yes, I watched that. I wonder what happened in Italy, their women have seen a level jump of sorts, wonder whether it is a coaching/environmental improvement of some sort.

The race obviously. But other handled the race and kept their rankings. It is her responsibility.

And this impacts her ranking in 2024 in what way? Again it is easy to deflect away from Hirano, but she bears responsibility for her ranking.

I guess we can agree to disagree on sample size. The point is that elements of these results can be attributed to chance. The point is that it goes in both directions. And when the results are heavily skewed by repeated matches against one player, it should just be taken as a reliable...

The topic was world ranking. The topic was explaining Hirano's seeding. Does anything you are posting address the topic? What is Hirano's responsibility for having a better world ranking? The topic was not Hirano's head to head against first team CNT players in the current cycle. Thr funny...

I am pointing out the inconsistency in your logic not the supposed ones in mine. If the losses are a small sample size, so are the wins. And she has had the same opportunities as her teammates and chose to focus on internal events, just like Ito did, and to be honest, she was just as...

So are the wins, using the same logic.

It makes perfect sense, using hidden statistics with limited predictive power to make arguments will work only so long. No one other than yourself and maybe Tieba users thought trailing in win rate was more important than actually being dominant both in Japan and on tour. And ultimately, China...

But she had all the same opportunities as her teammates. It is simply finding special excuses when there is no reason she could not have done what Hayata did.

QTY also lost multiple matches that led to her being explicitly denied chances. So no one would argue that she is better than anyone ahead of her getting opportunities (but maybe you and Tieba users might). Miu Hirano would have have a hard time arguing that the reason she is being denied...

Wait, you mean that the fact that she was ranked lower than others had nothing to do with her play? She just magically lacked the opportunities that others like Kihara and even Harimoto magically found? IT is easy to forget her subpar performances in Japanese tournaments prior to the Olympic...

Tanaka down 0-2 to Achanta - amazing.

Dima lost to Pucar in WTTC 2019 as well. He needs a lot of revenge.

So again, whose fault is it that those players are playing so many more events than others? Why is Hayata able to play so many events while the others can't? Divine intervention?

Usually there are a limited number of entrants per country. Qualifying is really about who doesn't get seeded into the main draw based on number of entries, number of players whose ranking qualify automatically for the main draw and the size of the main draw. So if you are not high enough to...

Yoshimura 1-0, 10‐4 to 1-0,12-14 vs Rassenfosse. Amazing.

There are too few seeded players. This is often done to increase randomness and excitement. A reliable draw will have about half the players seeded. A semi reliable draw will have a quarter. I wouldn't be surprised if the maxed the number of seeds at 8 for these events but it could be 16...

Blame everyone else (even if in jest) other than Hirano for her own seeding?

Lee Ho Ching during the WTTTC at Busan took me back to her early-to-mid 2010s form, that is why I picked her to come out. It is easy to forget she used to be a stable top 15 during the ELO era, she still plays that old ancient topspin game but has managed to make it workable again vs the last...
