Harimoto will face Pitchford. Revenge or another spanking?

Harimoto is avoiding BH rallies. Not good.

9 back-to-back losses against foreign players for Niwa. Will this be his 10?

Yes. This reminds us why Mizutani is still the greatest Japanese TT player of all time (okay modern era and stuff like that).

No, Japan is the XYZ team.

The most interesting part of the new format is the 1st singles match. Due to the fixed pairing of doubles in the new format, the 1st singles spot is now fixed for both teams, meaning the strongest player of each team is pitted against each other, 100% guaranteed. As the doubles is played first now, the case where a player plays in 2 consecutive matches is eliminated. The strategic value now rests on where teams place their 2nd and 3rd players. Either way, the ABC team will still enjoy a slight edge, as their 1st singles player will play again in the 4th match.
