Ding Ning x Mima Ito and above two great match ups and some great points.
Less than 25 spectators for both.
Ridiculous

I doubted the captain and he corrected me.
I hope for a good match between XX and Franziska

DN outplayed ITO 0-4 . Clearly she was well prepared, and anticipated (more than reacted to) well a lot of ITO's weird shots and placements.
DN ball quality (low and spinny) forced a lot of errors from ITO's flat punches. 0-4 is logical, although, with a bit of luck in the first two games, ITO could have been 2-0 ahead and then who knows.
ITO in interviews has always said she gets extra motivations for defeats and they are a chance to improve. Actually this kind of defeat may be good for her before the bigger tournaments to keep her alert ! I'll see her next WE in Yokohama for the Asian Cup !

I just watched the match highlights on youtube. To me, ML often looked rusty, missing both BHs and FHs that he normally didn't prior to his injury. His serves and touch were good.
Its scary that he won 4-0 over Boll and he wasn't playing any where close to what he's capable of. He did look better than against Tristan Flore. Hopefully he continues his come back from injury.
IMO, if both ML and Harimoto make it to the final, I think Harimoto wins 4-2 with Ma Long in this form.

yes I think so, with Kasumi
edit: NOPE , after checking on ITTF website, its ISHIKAWA and HIRANO
http://wtentries.ittf.link/index.ph...esc&resetfilters=1&fabrik_incsessionfilters=0
there are 2 exotic entries
one local player from QATAR, but also one player from IRAN I've never heard about... I thought the locals had only 1 wild card ?
and the reason is spelled here

There shall be a maximum of two (2) players from any one Association unless a third player isinvited as a "wild" card". If the Asian Champions is also the winner of the Asian Cup, theavailable place shall go to the next highest eligible player on the January 2019 ITTF WorldRanking List. The ITTF international eligibility regulations 3.8 and 4.3.6 shall apply.

Stag table or first international competition in 7 months after injury causing out of form issues as you put it. I will go with 7 months layoff from international competition coupled with long period of time when he was busy rehabilitating himself and not training TT.
I'm surprised Japan didn't switch out Hirano or Kasumi for Ito. After all, CNT did replace DN with CM to increase the chances of the latter clinching her first World Singles title (Asian Cup -> World Cup). I imagine Japan would want to do the same for Ito, grooming her to amass all the Singles awards.

Sorry ... But will Ito play at the Asian Cup?
Sorry ... Already saw the amendment ....
Agree with Janard .... JNT could enable ITO ...

That's what makes this achievement incredible. Like Mario Lemieux when he came back to the NHL after 3,5 years hiatus and still dominated. Like Jordan when he returned to the NBA after a long layoff and still destroyed every opponent. Some people just has *it*.

It is just incredible what ML is doing. Do not remember when last time he played so well.

Ma Long makes other pros look like amateurs. Insane level of play. The way the ball explodes off his blade, a clear sign he's in good form. He really dominates all areas of the play.

Jun played way better after putting on his glasses. I have heard that he has some problems on his eyes, but I am not sure. Does somebody know about that?

Harimoto 1-1 Falck, after 0-1.
Really important second for Harimoto. His frustration and nervousness were getting quite noticeable.
