I have searched over the web and I didn't manage to find anything about why Tomokazu Harimoto is not playing in the current World Junior Championship. I would love to see him play against the chinese juniors. If anybody knows why he is not participating please write here.

I suspect that has to do with Harimoto playing the full professional circuit, or at least the workload related to that; he has probably outgrown any age-limited competition anyway, despite of his few years.

Clearly you did not search all over the web. Ittf has even posted a pic on their Instagram account stating why he isn't going to be participating.

i'm seeing more and more injuries in the pro circuit - both senior and juniors
Its not good

one of my fav is also injured at the wjttc, got injured in teams...
senior world rank 101, a seed in the singles
and many see him as a future world 50 inside 1 to 2 years
