Shoo...nothing to see here. - zeio
Because there are better players who deserved to be here instead of these two, and you know both of them will have no chance when facing a CNT player in the WTTC, same goes for the women's final. Hayata vs Shibata should've been the true final.
Wouldn't it make more sense for CNT to decide the 4 who are picked first, and therefore don't need to play the Marvellous 12?
That way you wouldn't have a potential pick finishing 8th (for example), in the M12, yet still being picked.......
Appreciate it would seriously diminish the quality in the M12 event, but would potentially avoid the controversy of picking someone who didn't do that well (unless it's not particularly controversial)?
That's the opposite of what they want the trial to be. They want to determine "the undisputed one" in a real competition, like how LGY did in 2017, where no one could dispute his legitimacy.
So 2019 will have the exact same lineup as 2017...
That's about the only thing she's been consistent in though. Her results in international competitions have been fairly average.Like it or not, Kato has been very consistent in past trials, too.
There's dedicated term for that in China, 內戰專家.

Hayata won against Kato in the 1st round of Qualifier in December 3-1 I think, and last month 3-0 in TLeague but today was the match to win...
That's why Hayata has to earn her spot at all cost. She has what it takes. This is the time to step up. Don't rely on luck and favoritism, or she'll end up like Ishikawa.
Beside Ito Hayata is the only player who could potentially challenge chinese players, what a shame she won't play WTTC. This trial system is so stupid.
Curious about the past WTTC trials, I looked them up and voila! Ishikawa, Ito, and Hirano have never won.
Ishikawa qualified for 2007(doubles debut) and '09(singles debut) by recommendation, '13-15 by All-Japan Champion, '11 and '17-19 by World Ranking.
Ito qualified for 2015(singles/doubles debut) by recommendation, '17 by World Ranking, '19 by All-Japan Champion.
Hirano qualified for 2015(singles/doubles debut) and '19 by recommendation, '17 by All-Japan Champion.
