Is the absence of Mizutani/Ito and presence of Harimoto/Nagasaki at the Japanese National Championships next January supposed to mean anything? Seems like Mizutani has withdrawn himself completely from the Men's Singles and Mixed Doubles categories, participating only in Men's Doubles with Oshima. Validity of these news to be confirmed though.

Thank you, very interesting .... And I saw the lists of participants, but I watched inattentively, I repent ......
Ito - Morizono....
(no Hayata...)

I'm surprised to see him compete in MD. He said last year he was going to retire. He's never competed in XD.
Ito started competing in XD in 2018 and has always paired with Morizono.
Hairmoto paired with Nagasaki in 2019 and Hirano in 2018.

i'd love to see my coach Ooya play against Harimoto ! I hope he'll make it happen !
The Chinese forum seems divided on this so I went to read the ITTF 2019 Handbook.
Due to the equivocal way the regulations are worded, it can be understood that separation by association might not apply to the main draw simply by reading 4.5.2.3
However, 4.5.2.3 also referenced 3.6.3.3 which talks about entries ranked 1 and 2 but does this mean the top and second seeds in the main draw or simply those in the preliminary rounds?
Nonetheless even if 3.6.3.3 refers to the seeds in the main draw, there is also no guarantee that players of the same association won't meet until the finals. Let's assume (using the latest WR) CNT sends CM (WR#1 hence top seed) and ZYL (WR#5 hence third seed) and JNT sends Ito (WR#4 hence second seed). The rules merely states that seeds 3 and 4 are to be grouped in different quarters from seeds 1 and 2 so ZYL could theoretically be in the second quarter and thus same half as CM (i.e. players of same association separated but not necessarily by halves) right? The only definite way for CM and ZYL to be sorted into different halves is if they are the top two seeds. Unless it's late and my brain isn't functioning well?

Well, let's wait ... 6-7 a lot will become clear ..
It is difficult to say about the chances of Ishikawa, Hirano, Hayata until the Chinese women qualify and get into the main draw .....

This dude/dudess is so greedy. Wants Mizutani, Ishikawa and Miyazaki to retire.

The World (or is it ITTF) is really not making it easy for Ishikawa and Hirano. Their quarters are essentially Chinese enclaves. Ishikawa (and Hayata I guess since they are both 1/4) has it slightly easier IMO though, with only Zhang Qiang strong enough to pose a challenge. Hirano OTOH has more (albeit relatively unknown) Chinese women to deal with – Qi Fei?? Huang Fanzhen?? Zhang Binyue (if I recall correctly, she beat DN during the National Championships last year), Liu Xi (around CM/ZYL's age but has never achieved much, or anything at all) and Che Xiaoxi (probably the strongest of all the Chinese women on duty; she placed 6th during the last CTTSL?). If Hirano can wipe them all out, it will probably boost her confidence immensely (despite them being 4th/5th tier really) but if she flails... perhaps she should retire before Ishikawa-senpai.

Paradoxically, Qiang Zhang is probably the one player that zeio dislikes as much as Ishikawa.

Che Xiaoxi, if I remember correctly, lost to Mima Ito in 2015 in Bremen, Germany Open ....
In addition to Zhang Qiang, perhaps more should be noted Li Jiayi....
In general, we must wait for the quarter-finals .....
So far, with certainty we can say (my personal opinion) that Sato will reach the quarterfinals .....
In the Ishikawa-Hirano race, each of them still has a Grand Final .....

Juan Liu is a dark horse candidate to upset Sato. Remember that she is an experienced, ex-CNT player though I don't know how much practice she's had recently vs. choppers. Obviously not on the same level as Sato, but Juan Liu destroyed Angela Guan at the US Nationals last year. I think it will be interesting matchup, and I actually would pick Juan Liu to win that matchup if it happens.

In a few hours, she and Hina Hayata will play again with Chinese women .....
