China is not seeded, due to not taking part in the previous edition

Harimoto doesnt seem to be able to deal with Wang Chuqins agressiveness anymore.
WCQ flips 90% of all balls and Harimoto is unable to stand under the pressure of the flip itself and the follow up attacks.
Pretty dominant 3-0 and previously this year 4-0 by Wang Chuqin.
I am curious if Harimoto will be able to adapt and get into the game and do something or if this keeps going on.

Yeah, they finally told Wang to play for real, not with his left toe tied to his right ankle.

I am disappointed that JPN vs CHN went so quickly.
Harimoto seems slower despite more muscle. His Fh rally against WCQ was an obvious disadvantage.
I wonder what would be like if Harimoto plays H3 on FH?

you gotta watch the matches in the "qualification/group" stages
it didn't just ruin it for Japan
but those teams in the stages, obviously had no chance
IE, TPE womens and China in the same group... only 1 team goes through.
Malaysia isn't too bad too.
If TPE or Malaysia was in the other 3 groups, they would have both progressed.

Fair Play first
Happy Crooks. The ill-gained burns your other havings

its China v Japan again, in Women's semifinals tomorrow...
there might be more chance for Japan this time.
Hayata / Ito / Hirano should be the line-up
It would be disappointing if they just lose it like the Men's
For China,
Sun Yingsha / Chen Meng and whom ?
Chen XingTong was N3 against Singapore in QF today

I think they'd do better than men's, though chances are slim
The men's match today might be the first time I've seen the chinese fans didn't cheer for their team

CNT did their research well.
1st match: Wang Chuqin repeatedly put pressure on the middle line to the forehand side of Harimoto. Tbf, Harimoto forehand attacks have improved but it wasn't enough to break the tactics of Wang, and every time he tried to receive with the backhand Wang instantly went for the forehand kill to the exposed corner.
2nd match: not much to say, Shinozuka can't handle the ball quality of Fan Zhendong. Maybe coach Tasei wanted him to have the experience of playing against the top Chinese so he assigned him, otherwise I don't see no reason why.
3rd match: having watched Togami since his rise, the guy has 3 deadly weakness. They're weak FH-BH connection, dealing with spin (receive, short game, drive) and defense game. Every weakness was capitalized by Ma Long. Serve to the backhand, spiny backhand drive and constant change of placement in rallies. Togami's ability to rally was decent but he was forced into defense and lost points.

I love Japanese table tennis and always hope for some upset or tight competition when they go up against China but the result today was sad

As for Shinozuka, he made it to the selection because he satisfied the JTTA criteria (before his injury he got good results and was N2 in internal ranking points for paris olympics race at the time of cutoff selection date).
His form has dropped a lot since so it's no surprise he got killed by FZD.
Looking at match order, its likely the coach thought that Japan's only chance was for Harimoto to win 2 singles like at WTTTC 2022 and that Togami won against ML as he seems now below FZD and WCQ due to his age, and it was likely that ML would be N3 player like at WTTC 2022. so he deliberately put Togami in 3rd player instead of Shinozuka. But even an old ML is way too strong for Togami.
anyway looking at Japan's current players, there is no obvious N3 player for the squad. I'm afraid that Japan men's team won't get medals, even bronze in upcoming competitions.

"Slower despite more muscle" reads strange. Muscles deliver power, but muscle mass comes at the expense of agility/speed.

Shoo...nothing to see here. - zeio
I don't expect them to even try, except for Hayata. The most important thing for Hirano and Ito right now is the WS, in which they will gain selection points.
As for China, CXT will likely be benched as she has only played 3rd singles twice so far. WYD has played 2nd singles and 3rd singles once each. WMY has played 1st singles twice.
