Austrian Open 2019 [12-17 November 2019]

[Caxoera]

Kanak Jha makes the main draw. This is an amazing month for him so far.

Now he faces Calderano again. I don’t believe he has a chance against Hugo.

Truls lost to Tsuboi. This boy plays beautiful smashing from everywhere but for me the hype on him its just because he looks like Justin Bieber. I can’t see him on the top 50.

Filus vs Harimoto will be nice to watch.

Some people said Austrian players were favored by the draw. Tell that to Hamamoto. Unless she is a second class Austrian citizen

The best and worst at the same time scenario for Ishikawa is to meet hayata in first round. if she can survive there will be no doubt she should Play olympics if hayata wins which is more probable JTTA will have a big headache.

actually this draw is even better for ishikawa (lucky again). Hayata and Hirano throw each other out of the competition. If Hirano loses, Ishikawa has a better shot at the 2. singles spot and if hayata loses, she loses another chance to make her case for a possible team spot

Draw - you mean the whole???
Comparing to the pair you mentioned Kasumi has much tougher opponents. I am not even that sure if she can easily win the first match, but if she does she will have very good chinese players untill the final in each round.
Hirano/hayata - whoever wins next round should be quite easy for one of them. So if anything unusual happens one of those should get more points in this tournament then Ishikawa.

[karupinkun]

ishikawa meets a CNT member one round earlier. And you are right, Im also unsure if she can win the first match. Just like most of her games

// I know that Im to harsh with everybodys idol-senpei

[wappak]

whats wrong with wcq in that game, he even dont want to to touch zhao zihao hands after the match.

3 months of suspension for WCQ and 1 month for his coach LGZ, effective immediately.

Both are to return home immediately. I guess he'll forfeit his MD with FZD and XD with LSW later today.

Could you please translate ?

what exactly are they saying about WCQ ?

[yoass]

Does anybody know where is Xu Xin? He won 2 platinum events this year so I'm surprised he's not in this one.

I'd say he's had a well-deserved little break coming for quite a while already. Hope he's replenishing as I type, for Xu Xin is a spice of life player to me.

So, why did the Serbian pair forfeit? That's like giving LGY/ZYL a free ticket to the semis.

Serbia: We are comrades in arms with China.

I feel like sending LGZ back kind of shortchanges the other male players who are still there, considering not all the coaches from the men's team went (e.g. Chen Qi).

HKG 2-1 and 5:1, MFSB!

[Vlad Celler]

My personal opinion (possibly erroneous) is that the game was made mainly by Hina Hayata .....
I especially note her perseverance, the will to win .....

[zeio]

The problem for this XD pair remains:

Harimoto = woman
Hayata = man

As long as he could a make a quality opener for Hayata.

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

Hayata should take Harimoto to her hotel room and man him up

[yoass]

So, why did the Serbian pair forfeit?

Umm, to get to the other side?
