This is totaly different thing.If you would hold Ishikawa to the same standards...
Both teams Men and Women how just one top player which is undisputed: Ito and Hariomoto.
The difference is girls side is packed with very good players who have very good year fighting, improving and beating chinese players (ishikawa, hayata, hirano, kato, sato, and others). On the other side we have Mizutani and Niwa having one of the worst years in their career and then nothing long until Yoshimura, mastaka and others top 30 players.
And yes I would choose Ishikawa for second singles and second spot in team competition.
IMO two teams squad I would choose
women: ITO, ISHIKAWA, HAYATA
men: HARIMOTO, MIZUTANI, MASATAKA
xd: ITO, MASATAKA
