Umm, Ito is most motivated when playing Chinese players, especially the top-tier ones. That's why she is sometimes pushed to the brink of defeat by non-Chinese players – her sights (the entire JNT's rather judging by the number of times Chūgoku is repeated in their videos which is actually...

Well, at least Ito vs ZYL or LSW are both worth watching. The self-proclaimed "good for nothing" needs to redeem herself (especially after defeating team-mates who have all won their most recent encounters with Ito) while the World Champion needs this win to secure her Olympics Singles slot.

Lol at Ishikawa-senpai. Collector of bronze, even that is her goal for Tokyo!

As far as I know from previous iterations, the invitees for Asian Cup are the i) defending champion; ii) reigning Asian Champion (from Asian Championships); iii) top 10 players from the January ITTF Ranking List; iv) four Regional Representatives, one each from South Asia, South East Asia, West...

Their play here (if Mizutani and Hirano are indeed the third players) is clearly to secure a XD gold to raise Ito's morale so that her chances of winning WS are higher. My read is that they are sidelining the women's and men's team events for this Olympics (more of the former since the latter...

He played only one match against Zhou Qihao during M12 and that match wasn't streamed.

But JNT is announcing their Olympics team tomorrow right? Any idea what time and how?

After winning M12, ZYL still didn't get selected to play any Doubles event for German Open. XD: XX/LSW, LGY/SYS WD: DN/SYS, CM/WMY MD: LGY/ML, FZD/Zhou Yu Seems like SYS is ahead of CM for now too. We shall see.

Logically DN but most likely WMY.

Unexpectedly, she made DN look good by showing the importance of keeping one's emotions under check. CM and SYS succumbed to their frustrations after realising they couldn't penetrate the ZYL of this M12.

Maybe revisit some of the old forum topics and watch zeio's subbed videos for a more nuanced opinion of CNT's (amorphous but somewhat principled) selection criteria. Of course nobody here can completely grasp the underpinning mechanics behind the selection but the CNT's Olympics assessment...

Maybe the one whose Singles hopes are still up in the air is CM rather than SYS? Anyways out of curiosity, what does "CNT has a good problem with depth compared to JTN" mean?

Look at this new ZYL, schooling DN with her FHs for three sets straight.

Scripted? :D

Day 2 Session 1 (Elimination) Fan Zhendong 4-0 Zhang Yudong Chen Xingtong 4-1 He Zhuojia Zhao Zihao 1-4 Zhou Qihao Sun Yingsha 4-1 Gu Yuting Lin Gaoyuan 4-0 Ma Te Ding Ning 4-0 Zhang Rui

Well, we will know in a few days' time. I heard that each NOC would need to confirm the extant XD qualifications (from WTGF) by 4 Jan? Then again, it's difficult to rebuff your suggestion given how things played out during M12 even though XX/SYS is still a relatively raw team (winning only one...

ML/DN 1-3 FZD/GYT FZD/GYT 1-3 XX/SYS XX/SYS 3-0 ML/DN Overall winner: XX/SYS

Ml/dn 4-0 lgy/wmy fzd/gyt 4-0 yzy/zyl xx/sys 4-2 ljk/cm

Omg, the National Champs were bulldozed. I hope MaDing takes down XX/SYS.

In case anyone is interested in some heavily photoshopped posters for M12. According to some unverified sources, the XD draw might be as follows (to be confirmed tomorrow): XX/SYS vs ML/DN FZD/GYT vs LGY/WMY LJK/CM vs YZY/ZYL OFFICIAL DRAW (1 Jan 2020) LGY/WMY vs ML/DN LJK/CM vs XX/SYS...
