Notes
- CNT has invited a couple of retired and retiring players back. On the men's side, there are Hou Yingchao and Zhang Chao – no news about Zhang Jike in case you were wondering – while Mu Zi, Wu Yang and Hu Limei will complete the roster for the women's side.
- Based on a mixture of previous results, playing styles/skills set and age considerations, several players have been green-lighted to advance to the main draw directly. They are Zhou Yu, Fang Bo, Cui Qinglei, Zhang Chao, Hou Yingchao, Mu Zi, Wu Yang, Che Xiaoxi, Hu Limei and Liu Xi.

Absentees

1) LIU Shiwen will not participate as she is in the post-surgical rehabilitation phase. She had finally gone for an invasive surgery one month ago for the elbow/forearm injury that has been plaguing her for ages.
2) DING Ning has requested to sit out so that she can spend the time regaining her form.
3) ZHU Yuling will not participate as her immune system has been compromised so she's now hospitalised, and awaiting results of the checkup. Unlikely to be covid19, else the whole team should be quarantined and the event scrapped.

All I can think is that this will be waaay tougher than the real Olympics!

Think it's a great concept. Forces everyone to stay alert as every match expected to be tough. Good for coaches, players and fans.

The aim of this event is to give the players match practice?

“进入东京时间,打造东京场地,设立东京标准,使用东京赛制,模拟东京对手,提供东京保障”

It's that and beyond IMO. Practice matches, the Chinese players surely have many of those through their usual training sessions. My interpretation is that the coaches might be seeing deflated morale after having spent a prolonged period of time away from home and training for events (not just Olympics but also world tour stops) that have been put on hold indefinitely (i.e. pointless with no end in sight). Hence the effort and funds pooled into organising a domestic affair of this scale – to reignite passion and hope for everyone, including those who would have been left out of consideration should Tokyo 2020 happened. Of course, the practical aspects remain, that this is a litmus trial to ascertain who is able to keep his/her focus sufficiently over two weeks of competition, perform under pressure etc.

Looks like Mixed Doubles team will revolve around XU XIN, it's like ballroom dancing, his the competitions brightest and best dancer and need to find compatible partner, without him it doesn't work.

Female partner is interchangeable, but his inclusion is required.

Well, well. In the Chinese mock Olympics, the ones fighting for the gold medal are China and 'Chinese Taipei' (WCQ/WMY).

XX/SYS 4:3 LGY/SMY

007uCPrEly1ghkw65h8ssj314l0lux0m.jpg007uCPrEly1ghkw601lnoj314p0lu7mv.jpg

But looking at how XX/SYS played in the SF, they undoubtedly would have lost to the real Mizutanito. Ito's mastery of the short pips is really unparalleled. SMY had some brilliant moments but doesn't come close to Ito's level at maximising the pimples.

Didnt impress but got through
