Mizutani isn't keeping up. Ito winning like 80% of the points.

Even WCQ eats Ito's serve.

CNT need a pair that can convincingly beat Mima and can't confidently say DN & LSW is that pair.

CM has the record, I think DN just had a really bad night, we all do at times but think she is safer option. The Mima threat is too real hence why I think tough decisions and realistic conversations will happen, end of the day the coaches also have a reputation to protect and if a disaster happens at Tokyo 2020, it easier to get rid of the coaching staff and start fresh than persist with them.

CM SYS and LSW (to a lesser extent) all have excellent record against Mima Ito. DN gets fried even by most of her team-mates these days. Picking DN for OG singles would be a disaster for CNT.

I don’t recall a CNT woman losing 0-11, and 0-4 to a non-Chinese player, specially a TOP player. The only instance that comes to mind was the Ma Lin vs CCY match, but Ma Lin won that match, and it was a very long time ago.
Also I don’t recall China has ever sent a 30 yr old woman to the Olympics. For sometime now, DN’s stamina and agility have both been in visible decline, noticeably in internal tournaments. Is it wise for China to send her, when there are really good younger players in the pipeline? Would DN end her illustrious career like her debut in Moscow with a disastrous result ?

Wang Nan was 30 at the Beijing Olympics. However, the threat posed by North Korea and South Korea at the Athens Olympics were pretty much gone by that time.
