She was 3 months away from turning 21 when she registered as an Austrian player. So 7 years from April, 2019 for both WTTC and Olympics under the new rule.

5.5 Eligibility update
The Executive Committee agreed that the eligibility rules in the ITTF competitions and Olympic Games should be aligned, to make our sport eligibility easier to understand for all the stakeholders. The Secretary General proposed that a reasonable compromise between the current World Championships and the current Olympic Eligibility regulations would be to propose a waiting period for the players over 21 years of age of 9 years after the date of registration. Mr Calin suggested that the IOC was more comfortable with this scenario of 9 years than the current ban for life. Players already eligible would keep their eligibility regardless of whether the proposition is adopted.

5.5. Eligibility update
The Secretary General reported on the meeting held on 7th December with Mr Jerome Poivey, Head of Institutional Relations and Governance of the IOC and Coralie McConnell, from the IOC Summer Sports Department. Mr Poivey explained that the ITTF is ultimately responsible to define the eligibility criteria for the Olympic Games. A recommendation based on experience, was made to ensure that ultimately the Executive Committee could have the capacity of making exceptions, whichever is the final rule to be adopted. The Executive Committee reacted positively to this information and there was a consensus on the EC that the eligibility rules in the ITTF competitions should be aligned, to make our sport eligibility easier to understand for the Media.

7.4. Eligibility cases
The EC noted that the Australian Table Tennis Association registered Mr Mateo Dvorani, a player not born in Australia but now an Australian citizen, on the special eligibility database for World Title events after he reached the age of 15. Table Tennis Australia did appeal to the ITTF eligibility commission against the 5-yearwaiting period for the player to represent Australia at World Title events.The EC also noted the request from the French Table Tennis Association to waive the requirements for World Title events eligibility for Ms Liu Judith, a French player born in China.

9-EC-20170923
The Executive Committee resolved that no exception could be made to the current eligibility rule.

At the same time, a discussion was held in regards to the fact that,currently, there are three different eligibility rules. One for Olympic Games, one for World Title events and a third one for international tournaments. The CEO stated that the ITTF should find the way to have a common eligibility regulation. The EC members agreed on the concept. It was agreed that it would be important to also explore what are the limitations in regards to the IOC eligibility rule.

10-EC-20170923
The Executive Committee resolved to instruct the Secretary General to contact the IOC to determine whether the eligibility rule for Table Tennis at the Olympic Games can be defined by ITTF and to explore ways to have a more unified eligibility rule.

Shibata has a minimum eighth result of 680 ...She will participate in the Asian Championship ...But in my opinion, Hayat’s chances are higher .....

Happiness and good luck to her!:)

Mizutani will don a new pair of sunglasses. He believes Niwa has a 50-60% chance winning the Paraguay Open. That'll put him in a difficult position as he isn't eligible for the World Cup. Still, he believes he can perform better than Niwa on the Tour if his eyes improve. The 2 are 555 pts apart as of this writing.

https://www.nikkansports.com/sports/news/201909110000051.html
現在、「新しいサングラスを作る段階」と言い、「自分に合うものになれば、自分は確実に数段強くなる」と言い切った。色味や形を調整している。今月が最後のチャンスと言い「それができなければお先真っ暗。良くならないと今と同じ結果が続く」と深刻に捉えている。
...
水谷は「丹羽は今、(ワールドツアーの)パラグアイに行っていて、50~60%の確率で優勝する。(自分が出られない)W杯も出るので、そう考えると自分は厳しい立場にある」と語った。

一方で、「正直、目さえ良くなれば、全然これからもワールドツアーで彼(丹羽)より良い成績を残せる自信がある」と断言。「この1カ月で自分の目を良くして昔みたいに良いプレーができる自分になって帰ってきたい。期待していて良いと思います」と覚悟を決めた。

张本:遇到生手我怎么赢
水鸟:年老体衰眼神不好我怎么赢
泥洼:我就不想赢

Harimoto: How do I win facing an unfamiliar opponent?
Mizutani: How do I win with my ailing body and poor eyesight?
Niwa: Yours truly just don't wanna win

This is his 6th and straight 1st round exit this year.

予選を勝ち上がってないラッキールーザーに第一シードが負けたのはもしかしたら前例ないかもしれないね
It may be unprecedented that the first seed lost to the lucky loser who did not win in the qualifcation.

Guess what? History was made here, according to Ian Marshall.

https://www.ittf.com/2019/09/13/zhang-kai-rides-luck-causes-first-round-sensation/
Now Zhang Kai goes one step higher, since the inaugural tournament on the ITTF World Tour, the 1996 English Open, when the “Lucky Loser” concept was first introduced or at an ensuing ITTF Challenge Series event, he becomes the first “Lucky Loser” to beat the top seed in the opening round; something to tell his grandchildren.

Conversely for Koki Niwa he becomes the first top seed to lose in the opening round to a “Lucky Loser”, something not to tell his grandchildren!

It's interesting that Hina Hayata, winner of 4 Challenge/Plus events this year, would be ahead of Miyu Kato if you don't include the T2 points.

More precisely, three Challengers plus and one Challenger ...
But in Poland it will be difficult ......China decided to take this niche .....

Will it she announced in Canada?

Ishikawa is lucky ....There are chances to win the R-32 at the Asian Championships...And this is at least 720 points ....Plus 540 per team ....
But to stand in the ITTF rating for October above Ito still does not work .....

3.ITTF World Singles Rankings
...
3.6. Maximum one continental event counts out of the singles continental championships, team continental championships and continental cup for seniors.
...
3.9. Team match inclusion in singles ranking:
...
3.9.2. Continental senior team championships matches count separately from the individual points and with a maximum of 8 match wins.
3.9.2.1. Match wins at first stage (qualification stage) of the continental team championships are included in the maximum 8 wins to count.

The theoretical maximum she can get is 1440 pts(8*180 pts) in the team event but that's hardly possible, realistically 540-720 pts. She needs to finish 4th(1080 pts) in singles to raise her ranking points.
