It is interesting to wait for the results of W.W.C ......
If I understand correctly, the old results will be necessarily replaced by new ones ...
And if the new results are less than the minimum eighths?
Will the old ones be replaced by a reserve?
(in any case, with the same results, the new points are less than the old ....)

Meanwhile, the Chinese said the lineups on Open Austria ....It is curious that there is no W.M.Y. and S.Y.S. ....

Li Sun has announced in September that the core players will take turns to rest and (re)calibrate for German and Austrian Opens.

Ito reaching the final here in Bremen means she's cemented her singles spot for Tokyo 2020.

Doesn't even need the Austrian Open and WTGF. She could just show up for T2 Singapore and that's it.

Ishikawa or Hirano winning the World Cup won't even matter.

Scary.

Scary.

In the January ITTF ranking (JTTA attaches great importance to this rating for choosing a team at Tokyo 2020), Ito will certainly be higher than Hirano and Ishikawa ...

how is it between Hirano and Ishikawa then

Ishikawa is super lucky that Austria Open is a Platinum event. She still has a chance but that could very well be her last.

The World Cup and WTGF won't help Ishikawa much if Hirano doesn't mess up since the seeding is out of the picture now.

For the TWC, Baba will likely field them as evenly as possible out of fairness so it won't have much bearing.

It could come down to the T2 Singapore.

TWC-2018....Ishikawa-1500 points, Hayata-600, Ito-300 (isn't it amazing!).
The results of TWC-2018 will be replaced by new ones, TWC-2019 ....
But there is a difference ...In 2018, the WD played Ito-Hayata ....(that’s why Ito has so few points — she didn’t have to play the fourth match, and Ishikawa and Hayata played the second and third ..)
This year will be different ....WD is likely to be Ishikawa-Hirano .....And Ishikawa will not be able to score 1500 points ....Moreover, a new ranking system, points are awarded less ....So, there Ishikawa will have a loss .....
Theoretically, although Ishikawa has a chance to advance Ito in the January ranking, they are close to zero ......

We're on the last legs of the calendar. Women's World Cup this coming Friday. Ishikawa's fate is literally up in the air. Can Hayata knock Kato off the 4th spot before the end of the year, with "merely" 785 pts between the 2 now? So close yet so far.

The Men's World Cup and Austrian Open will be game-changing for Niwa. He'll seriously have to perform in these 2.

Added "Difference" row.

It is unfortunate, but Hayata’s chances to rise above Kato in the ranking by January are very, very, very small .....Even a victory in the two remaining tournaments in October will add only 305 points ....In these tournaments many Chinese women and serious Chinese women are declared ....
On T.W.C/, Hayata will most likely not be taken ....So, 600 points for 2018 will be deducted from the reserve ....
Not to mention the direct deductions of old points for November 2018 (-1125, -900) ...

Hirano did not play at all, not even a game, at the Team World Cup in London.

Hayata could theoretically gain 485 pts if she wins in both Polish and Belarus Opens. That will put her just 300 pts behind Kato. It'll then come down to the Austrian Open, where she'll have to reach at least the QF while Kato crash out in R32.

But like you noted, Polish and Belarus Opens are packed full of CNT players. And given her draws in Czech(Ito in R32) and Swedish Opens(Hirano in R32), reaching the QF in Austrian Open will require a miracle.

Losing to CXT 3-4 in German Open hurt her chance really bad here. Had she won, she would've met Kato in R16 and if she got past her, she would have a much easier time.
