Wow, didn’t expect an all-Japanese semi finals for women’s single. So there is a chance for Ishikawa vs Hirano in the final and that will be exciting.

If Kato wins this she's gonna be the ultimate troll of JNT

If Kato wins the tournament, then JNT will take note of this, of course ...But the decision will be made after the Grand Final and Top 12 ....
I look forward to the information-list of participants in the first round .....

Objection! All of this stems from my Idol Ishikawa's refusal to retire and her sidekick Kato's determination to interfere.

Mizutani's chance of reaching the SF is infinitely close to 0.
From Kurashima's response, the JNT is going to turn a blind eye, given the situation they're in.

Motivation:
Ishikawa - to widen the gap in points between himself and Hirano before the Grand Final ...
Hirano - the same task ....
(it will finally be determined who will be second in the JNT and who will be third after the Grand Final anyway ....)
Hayata-there was a chance in case of victory to widen the gap in points with Kato and get close to the top 20 ....Unfortunately, this chance was missed ....
Kato-in case of victory, entry into the top 20 ....
Sato - consolidate its position in the top 20 ....(max. nr. 18-19 in 2020/1)
(Sato after the Grand Final is likely to lose points, but will remain in the top 20 ...)
In 2020, Sato, Kato, Hayata in serious tournaments will be forced to play qualifications, access to the main draw only through Chinese barriers .....

Today should be interesting especially for Miu Hirano. Her semifinal is the 2nd WS match. She barely squeezed by defender Hashimoto yesterday and today plays Hitomi Sato who is on the short list for best female defender in the world. If she gets by Sato, how much energy would she have left just a few short hours later?

In an extreme case, she still has a really last chance - the Grand Final .....But then the probability is almost close to zero .....
And the third place (WS, Japan) in the ITTF rating after the Grand Final is:
You have to play knockout in the first round of TOP-12 Japan ....In the company of Hayata, Sato, Kato, Honoka, Nagasaki, Kihara .....
(Horror...)

One netizen in China actually made the comment that Kato had the easiest draw a few days ago and it turned out to be right. Well, the upper half became way easier once Hayata got taken out by Guo Yuhan, who in turn got taken out by Wang Xiaotong, and then when Kato took out Li Jiayi, who in turn took out Batra.
