Is it true offense and defense don't mix?
Would be amazing to see Pistej with Harimoto...
JTTA didn’t send/fund Hayata, Shiomi or Hashimoto, they went as independents on their own funds garnered from sponsors.
Hayata needed the ‘easy’ 1100 pts to boost her WR, with this win she’ll pull up to #6 in the Japan hierarchy next month.
otoh, Niwa probably wanted the ‘easy’ win to get him out of the current doldrums of first round exits, and flopped badly.
http://www.jtta.or.jp/tournament/tabid/124/Default.aspxHow do you know if players are sent by the association or independent?
I'm guessing koki was a waste of money from JTTA?

click on the date/tournament and check the list of participants, categorized by JTTA/JOC EA FUNDED or Voluntary(self funded).
Hayata other reason is to get in top 16 as soon as possible. Once she does it, she will not have to play preliminaries in World Tour.
Of course but playing tours is the only way to make more points. This year is very good for her she is winning most of matches. But if she is going to be in JNT she must start beating second team chinese players regularly.Unfortunately, to do this, at least this year, is almost impossible .....
Although Hayata is declared in Sweden and Germany, it can be declared in Austria ....(only qualification through Chinese players ...)
Declared for Challenger in Poland, but there are many Chinese women of the second and third team ......
The main thing is that when calculating the ITTF rating for December 2019, Hayata will have a big deduction of old bonuses ....(And ITO too, by the way ...)
And they both have few reserve points ...
Hayata may fall into the fourth ten again, and Ito may fall below Ishikawa and Hirano .....(In the ITTF rating 12/2019) ....
