Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

[Vlad Celler]

We will still hope for TOP-12 ..... It is curious that either Hirano or Ishikawa will have to play the preliminary qualification ....Who exactly will be decided in Singapore ....... If I understand correctly, the two highest ITTF ratings in December (namely December) are exempted from the first stage ....Is it Ito and ....?These two will play in the second stage of TOP-12....


So far, a preliminary calculation of the December ITTF rating looks something like this (sorry for possible errors!)
Please note this is not a final rating! The final rating will be after Singapore!

- D.N. 13190+t2/
- WANG Manyu 13175+t2/
- ITO Mima min13105) aus/ +t2/
- Z.Y.L. min13075) aus/ +t2/
- C.I.C. 11280+t2/
- F.T. 11210+t2/
10- Hirano 10925+t2/
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11- Ishikawa 10845+t2/

No disrespect, but Kato and Sato are not in the same league as HH. Look at how they are tracking and their results vs. CNT. I don't see how HH is not top 3 on the JNT. Five tournament wins and a winning record vs. CNT. QTY has to be in great form to take down LSW and HH. I hope Mima can take her down (and whoever wins the other half).

Hayata and Kato will both have to reach the SF(715) in NA Open to rack up points.

Given all this, the chance is high that Sato, Kato and Hayata will finish 4th, 5th and 6th in the race.

It boils down to the T2(600 for Kato and >=400 for Sato). Pongfugrasshopper must be fuming here.

Make that 5. 3 Challenge Plus and 2 Challenge, in 6 stops, losing in the Polish Open only.

Remember that under the new rating rules, points for the Grand Final 2019 are less than last year (except for the finalists ...)
Sato will play in Singapore and the Grand Final .... But Sato may lose points in the Grand Final 2019 ....After all, there will be a replacement of old glasses with new ones (and if new ones are less than the previous ones, replacement from the reserve) ...


Kato has not been officially announced by JNT to Singapore ... Although there is no confirmed list of participants yet? It is interesting, for example, whether injured D.N. will be in Singapore .....

[Vlad Celler]

In any case, I congratulate Hina Hayata - reaching the quarterfinal of Platinum, gold in the mixed doubles - and wish her good luck!

Kato didn't qualify for T2 Singapore. Sato did.

JTTA confirmed the lineup last month.

The official T2 site has also updated the lineup.

Thank....
But maybe there will be more changes? Confirmed List?

Will play for example WANG Chuqin ?
And D.N. ?

[zeio]

Yes, it was confirmed on the 8th. The cutoff date was after the German Open. It's starting next week.

WCQ won't play as he'll be suspended until next year.

No disrespect, but Kato and Sato are not in the same league as HH.

This is so true. We need no ranking to see who is the more dangerous player for the chinese opponents. Hayata is much more powerful and taller than her japanese colleagues, she can compete with the chinese style.

[ZhouZhekai]

Koki Niwa and Mizutani Neck to neck. Did not see that coming

[Janard]

Seems like it's official that Ito has been granted a Singles and Team spot for the Olympics?

[Vlad Celler]

In any case, in the January ITTF ranking, neither Ishikawa nor Hirano can even theoretically rise above her ....

[zeio]

They waited for the Austrian Open to settle since:

Hirano will now have to win the rest - T2(1000), NA Open(1100) and WTGF(2550) to even stand a chance of being 420 pts ahead of Ito.

Ishikawa won't even come close winning all of the above.

[zeio]

Doesn't look good for ZYL. Couldn't get past the 3rd ball consistently. Getting whacked hard.

[Vlad Celler]

I did not understand to whom and for what the judge showed a yellow card?

[NextLevel]

Looking good for ZYL. Her anticipation is catching up.

ZYL time wasting.

[Vlad Celler]

ZYL time wasting.

Thank !
