Hoping for togami and uda to perform well, navigating the website as a non japanese speaker is quite tough, is there a translated draw anywhere?

There are hundreds of participants. Hopefully, I did this right (zeio or Fixpoint feel free to correct me), but I used Google Translate to translate what I believe are the expected matchups in R16 (if these players don't get upset).

There’s some pretty nasty match ups for the men. Like Sora already facing M Yoshimura, and Uda facing R Yoshiyama. I’m wondering how Niwa will handle Togami

why is Niwa still playing this?

 

[igorponger]

HONESTY IS THE BEST PART OF TABLE TENNIS PLAYER.
Japanese all don't use boosters. Never they did. Nation of inborn dignity, far different from Chinese

 

[joshmak10]

why is Niwa still playing this?

I heard he still plays Japanese competitions, but retired internationally

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

Yes, he still plays in T-League and still plays well (70% win rate) but unlikely to beat Togami.

The 32 players are called "super seeds" and consist of 16 players who ranked within the top 16 in the previous year's tournament, as well as others who meet various criteria such as being ranked within the top 50 in the world. This year, there are 220 female participants and 225 male participants. The other players start from the first round, while the super seeds enter the competition from the fourth round which is R64.

Best chance for Odo, Kihara, and Nagasaki to reach the final with Hayata still recovering.

Miwa is the only one I can see bulldozing her way to the finals.

Time for Ito and Hirano to prove that they aren't past their prime. Only one of them can reach semifinals but whoever does will be there for the first time in a long time (since 2022 for Ito and 2018 for Hirano). If they don't randomly crash out before that of course.

No womans double?

edit: will we be able to view the matches from tttv.jp without a proxy/vpn ??

edit 2: I see there is another tournament 30-Jan to 2-Feb that will be ONLY doubles (men, women & mixed). The Zen-Noh tournament https://jtta.or.jp/special/28734

My fav, Kenta Matsudaira and Uda Yukiya

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

I “kinda” participated in zennihon today. I went to a big venue (Yokohama Budokan) and became a practice partner for a guy from Kyushu playing first round tomorrow.
We played 6 sets in total and unfortunately i got beaten badly but there were a few “super play” to be happy about.


Of course serve receive was where the biggest difference of level could be felt. His short serves were much faster than those I see around my level giving me much less time to react. His footwork was of course much faster than mine but that’s expected with the age gap.

My teammate could get a game out of him

Tomorrow I can see how well he does on tttv

JTTA decided to "debloat" Zennihon in the council meeting on 2023/12/9.

Wow, 全日本経験者!

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

actually foreigners are not allowed to play in Zennihon singles.
only doubles. but they have of course to earn their place through a qualification tournament.
[there is one for each prefecture]

I did try already 4 times just because we're allowed to, although we know we have no chance at all and the level is way too high and we're 50+ veterans !! We're just "tourists" in this qualification tournament. But in 2022 we were lucky to play another pair of Japanese "tourists" and we won our 1st round match in the qualification tournament (from 0-2 and matchpoint down ! actually we were the logical favorites looking at H2H but we almost choked to death)

This year we faced a very strong pair, and in G1 we lost 0-11 .... and didn't score many more points thereafter... what a nightmare...

whats very cool is we can watch pros playing at the table just next to us...

I think Hirano is going to get a big challenge with Honoka Hashimoto who beat Hirano in one of the domestic trials. Miwa is lucky Hashimoto (who beat Miwa twice this T-League season) is not in her quarter, but I'm sure Hashimoto will provide intel on Miwa to Sato. The big question mark will be Hayata if she can get back up to speed. She looked pretty decent in Doha beating Yokoi 3-0 and taking Chen Yi to a decider.

Easy path straight to the finals for Ito! She just needs Ando>Kaho, Hashimoto>Hirano, than Sato>Harimoto
Not impossible....
