This year they will be held from January 14th to 20th in Osaka, thats why no Japanese player will show up in the ITTF Hungarian Open. Last year, in the Men's final, Harimoto ended Mizutani's reign while Ito also won her first crown in Women's finals and also won Doubles and Mixed Doubles to be...

Once again my congratulations to Mima Ito and Tomokazu! Great tournament and epoch results! Watching World Tours thanks to them (and others) will be interesting again. I wasn't planning to create this topic, but we had some discussion yesterday (in the Japan Open 2018 thread) about the changes...
