Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

[Tempest/Comet]

Although Ishikawa still has a chance to rise above Ito in the ITTF ranking .... In December ... Ito will receive a deduction of old points for November 2018 (-3150), Ishikawa (-1260) ...
Of course, there will be a replacement from the reserve, but Ito does not have very good reserve points ..

Even if Ishikawa gain 1000000 pts on Ito in Nov/Dec and be ITTF #1 in the world, it wouldn’t help her one bit. DEC ranking does NOT affect anything, Grand Final seedings are based on ‘19 World Tour results only. And by the January crunch time, everything 2018 disappears (including the 1000000 pts), the dust will settle, and it’s best 8 + T2s only for the race to qualify for Tokyo.
Go(away) Ishikawa, go
(but with her tenacity & perseverance in serving she won’t.)

石川ファンならしょうがないですよ
自分も石川ファンですが伊藤のプレー見た後、石川見たら悲しくなるのはわかります

Ishikawa fans can't help it
I am an Ishikawa fan, but after watching Ito's play, I can see that Ishikawa gets sad

 

[yoass]

To us believers, the Ito showed confidence and power over the soulles SYS, but the Gods of TT ruled in SYS's favor and let her escape in the first game.

The Ito, she strong. We believe.

 

[zeio]

Corrected wrong data for some players.

Ito 11405
Hirano -1230
Ishikawa -1550, -320

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

so ITO + HIRANO for Singles spots ! ISHIKAWA or HAYATA ?

 

[zeio]

Yes, at this rate, Ishikawa will be at the mercy of the development headquarters.

 

[Vlad Celler]

Meanwhile, Hayata has good chances to win qualification in Germany .....No China ..
But in the fourth round, most likely, a meeting with Nagasaki .....

 

[zeio]

Wow, 4 rounds of prelim.

 

[Vlad Celler]

Horror....
By the way, on the ITTF portal there are no statistics of meetings between Hayata and Nagasaki ......And for "All of Japan" - I don’t know .....

 

[zeio]

Hayata beat Nagasaki 4-2(4,12,-12,9,-7,5) in the 4th round of All Japan Championships 2017.

Thank!

Looks like Ito is safe for olympics. Pity that she did not win the final, anyway very good performance. I hope she can keep the level and concentrate more on the game not the smiles.
Hirano is improving and it is clearly visible.
Quite dissapointed by Ishikawa performance, especially WD, she did so many unforced FH errors.
German open is coming and it will be very interesting how the main draw will look like for the above players. Also there are some strong players from China in preliminaries.

 

[Vlad Celler]

The main grid (Germany) will be published today ....
(curious, pay attention to the remark - W.L. - for Chinese players in tournaments Poland and Belarus ..)

yeah, at least we know Ito is quite safe beeing no 4. Of course there are some chinese players in preliminaries, but if she does not have bad luck, her chances are much higher then Ishikawa and Hirano. Also there is no advantage of Ishikawa over Hirano anymore in main draw. In sweden Kasumi was no.8.

World Team Cup entries: Ito, Hirano, Ishikawa, Sato

no Hina Hayata?

A team can have a maximum of five players. Perhaps the fifth player will be added later ... Deadline by composition - November 4 ....
(or maybe they won’t add ....)

 

[zeio]

Ishikawa just screwed up big time here in Bremen. Platinum event and a perfect draw straight to the QF and now even to the F.

Had she reached the QF, she could've at least closed the gap b/w her and Hirano down from 320 pts to 95 pts.

She's running out of tournaments here - Austrian Open, World Cup, T2 Singapore, WTGF.
