It is a pity ... Hina Hayata would have been important points received .....
I have the impression that the Japanese are stubbornly dragging Ishikawa in the ITTF ranking to a higher place than Ito’s ....

How ironic, Janard, that we posted at nearly the same time. I only noticed this post when I finished typing up and posting mine. Haha. Thank you for making a separate thread for this topic. I'll just paste here what I posted in the Japan Women's Race to Tokyo Olympics Singles Thread:

Head's up! JTTA has just released the player lineup for this year's Asian Table Tennis Championships on the JTTA website. It remains to be seen if additional players will be added, but as of now, this is the lineup:

Men's Team: T. Harimoto, M. Yoshimura, K. Yoshimura, Yukiya Uda, Jin Ueda, and Shunsuke Togami (Notable Absences: Niwa and Mizutani)
Women's Team: Kasumi Ishikawa, Miu Hirano, Hitomi Sato, Saki Shibata and Miyu Kato (Notable Absences: Mima Ito and Hina Hayata)

How will Ito's absence affect the Race to Tokyo? Given that Ishikawa and Hirano are the only serious threats to her singles spot, Ito's absence won't affect the race too much. The continental championships only give the same amount of ranking points as a World Tour Regular event. Also, remember that among the Top 8 results, a player may only use a Maximum of 1 continental event result. Ishikawa and Hirano already have a continental event result this year (Asian Cup), so if ever either Ishikawa or Hirano does better in the Asian Championships, it would be their Asian Cup result that would have to be replaced instead of their lowest result of their Top 8.

Ishikawa needs to at least make the singles final in the ATTC to gain any points in the race while Hirano needs at least a semi-final finish. Given that matches are best 3 of 5 games, it's certainly possible. However, I still believe that it is more difficult to go farther in the Asian Championships as opposed to the Asian Cup since China can field 5 singles players this time instead of a maximum of 2 like in the Asian Cup.

As of now, it is still unclear why Ito is not participating in the ATTC. My guess would be that she is conserving energy for the second T2 event which will occur the week after the ATTC. Given that the ATTC has all 7 events (all singles, doubles and team events), it would definitely be exhausting to participate in both tournaments back-to-back. The T2 event will have more impact on World Ranking than the ATTC, so it makes sense for Ito to prioritize T2.

I don't think JTTA has released information on the doubles pairings for this event yet. Just keep a look out on who gets paired with whom in the doubles events for possible clues on who the JTTA is eyeing for next year's Olympics.

 

[Janard]

China's line-up has been announced

Men's Team: Ma Long, Xu Xin, Fan Zhendong, Lin Gaoyuan, Liang Jingkun, (Wang Chuqin)
Men's Singles: Xu Xin, Fan Zhendong, Lin Gaoyuan, Liang Jingkun, Wang Chuqin, (Sun Wen)
Men's Doubles: Xu Xin/Fan Zhendong, Lin Gaoyuan/Liang Jingkun　
Women's Team: Ding Ning, Liu Shiwen, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha, (Zhu Yuling)
Women's Singles: Ding Ning, Liu Shiwen, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha, (Zhu Yuling)
Women's Doubles: Ding Ning/Zhu Yuling, Wang Manyu/Chen Meng
Mixed Doubles: Xu Xin/Liu Shiwen, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha

Since each event is limited to five players, the sixth names in the list are usually the reserve players. Sucks to be ZYL then, even though Ito is not participating.

Everything wrong with this ATTC?

CCY out, LYJ out and so LYJ/CIC out.

Ito out, Mizutani out, Niwa out.

What's the point of having Continental events now?

Oh, it is confirmed that LJY is pulling out? I've read reports about potential injury but wasn't aware that he isn't going for sure. Well, perhaps the Hong Kong team will feel extra motivated this time?

 

[zeio]

His dad confirmed it on the 10th. Though there's some speculation he pulled out in support of CCY.

《三立新聞》報導，林昀儒已將診斷書交遞桌協，協會理事長林茂榮表示：「基於保護林昀儒，協會同意林昀儒請假。」

林昀儒父親林學宜昨日出席活動時就表示，林昀儒這半年來為了爭搶世界排名積分，賽程的確安排較密集，他也苦笑說：「積分是拿到了，排名也上去了，不過卻受傷了。」

林學宜昨天提到接下來會聽從專業建議，「如果醫師建議要休息，今年亞錦賽我們就會先缺席，畢竟最重要的比賽還是明年東京奧運，如果醫生認為沒問題，亞錦賽我們就會按照原訂計畫出賽。」

林昀儒會後到輔大醫院診療，經檢查後發現，幸好只是因為長期疲勞導致的發炎狀況，不過不建議這兩三周內從事高強度比賽。

As for Hong Kong, the folks are focused on getting a medal in XD.
