I am not sure if Mizutani has some injury (there is some plaster on his neck) but he is playing worse and worse. In that shape him and Koki I do not know if Japan has any chance to get any men team medal in Tokyo.
yes at the moment Korea and Germany are above Japan, I would say even a few other countries. Sweden, Portugal, perhaps Taipei and some others. Mizutani has to find a way to improve his eyesight. I still think he could be competitive, a good WR10-20 if he had no eyesight problem. His footwork is slower with age, but he is still strong in serve/receive
As for Niwa, nobody can predict how he will play...
