Acceptable results given the lack of support from JTTA?

Ito is so inconsistent... :(

She's been so consistent since the second half of 2019. She doesn't lose easily to players other than the CNT now. That's the prerequisite to challenging China. She lost to Ishikawa, DHK and CIC in 2018. In early 2019, she only lost to Kato in T2 Malaysia that was played under different rules.

Last but not least, she plays a unique style that has a really tiny window. Zhang Yining has recently acknowledged in a WTT session they have trouble finding one to train against in China.

yeh WANG Manyu was so strong today. and so determined as well. ITO never found her rhythm into this match. I had the impression that all she needed was 2-3 good points in a row to start the war machine but I was wrong.

WMY deserves a lot of credit but ITO wasn't performing near yesterday's level.

I think Ito has chances but she needs to work more on mental game and also strategy. If you look carefoul to the match with WYD, she took a lot of points with the chop changing the rythm and the pace and the speed. If she uses this tactic more she would gain more points but usualy after few easier points she turns to smiling mode and wants to kill every coming ball.
In that way she is very inconsistent and when she faces patient players like Chen Meng she has no chances.

Folks keep getting the wrong idea here. Just because they've gotten a few wins, people think "yea, Japan is EQUAL to China now" or "China is crumbling down." Hirano fell for it. Harimoto fell for it as well.

Thankfully, former JNT women's team head coach MURAKAMI Yasukazu is much more realistic.

From Table Tennis Japan on 2020/11/07:

Before WTTC 2014 Tokyo, the burden was to NOT LOSE before the final.

In 2nd place behind China, it was because of this tournament that we were always able to protect it

In 2014, the odds were 8 for China and 2 for Japan

Now, it's 7:3

By Tokyo 2020, it'll be 6:4

I think the chances of winning will increase

CNT players don't make unforced errors

A critical hit is necessary

Speed, spin, course, inside-out above that of the CNT players

It is necessary to polish the critical hit

[size=+2]Unfairness in commercial affairs is a sin.[/size]
Unfair comercial practices by DHS. Producing and disributing the notorious Exclusive versions of H3 , that is only avalable for the Chinese nationals, is much a fraudulence. Japanese people are told to be worthy of great respect.

Something special right now about CM & FZD! Pretty dominant and FZD is owning ML now everytime they play.

Ito's game was poor against WMY. That had nothing to do with ball. The only way Ito can win against CNT is high risk play. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It is a paradox actually. If she tries to be more consistent, she will lose most of the time to CNT. It is her randomness and risky play that makes Ito a threat.

Will WMY break her losing streak against CM after Asian Games 2018? Or is it gonna be 9 in a row?

An unconfirmed source says there's high chance FZD will not take part in WTT Macau.

CM: Stop calling me "Queen of Opens", call me "Queen of WTGF"! I'm the reigning National Champion, World Cup holder, and 4-time-back-to-back WTGF Champion!

Someone on Tieba said it had to do COVID-19 precautions. Players can't wipe their hands on the table. They can ask the assistant umpire to wipe it. They relaxed the toweling rule.
