Whee. After 10 back-to-back losses to foreign players since WTTC 2019, Niwa has finally...won!

Impossible for Japanese men to have a medal in Olympics unless they have a lucky draw. There are more than 3 teams stronger than them

They'll need a draw like Germany has here.

Now the question is, will Austria give England a push to finish 1st in group, or will they fight for a 3-way tie?

Wu Yue for 1st singles. Something wrong with Lily?

For the 2nd stage, the winners of Groups A and B will be placed in positions 1 and 8 respectively and the winners of groups C and D will be drawn between positions 4 and 5; the runners-up will be drawn into the remaining places, in opposite halves from the winners of the same groups.
Japan will be drawn to a random place to the top half where China is if England finishes 1st in group.

wow had a very long day at the stadium. I never had so much fun. It was not very crowded. Tickets were quite cheap, 40$ for front row seats, and it wasn't even half full, more like 30%. What a shame !
but a good thing for those attending because it was much easier to get signatures or pics with the players...

I watched everything except for the very last bit of Womens Korea v HK and Romania v Taipei... I would have liked to try to get a selfie with Bernie but I was too tired and my friends were leaving ...

will post some pics later

You can watch the stream on TV-Tokyo with a VPN

Disastrous doubles for Japan against Austria. Many « unforced » errors. From Yoshimura but especially Niwa who has been pathetic today so far

Anyone have the TV Tokyo link?

Lily plays with dignity ....

It's said she has an ongoing foot issue.

She played all right under that condition.

Another week plagued with visa and travel problems... I’ve had 3 MAJOR travel issues just in the past month + a foot injury ������ China was a dream and I’m unbelievably grateful, but this week was really rather stressful and I’m very disappointed with my performance at the Belarus Open. I know that these ups and downs are simply a part of sport and I’m trying my best to stay calm and collected, but am also feeling pretty drained at this point. Regardless, I will keep working to find the positives in these experiences and will give my absolute best at the World Team Cup in Tokyo coming up next week!!! ������������������ #DontWorryImmaKeepFighting #RollercoasterMonth #AthleteLife #BelarusOpen #ITTFWorldTeamCup
