Looks like JTTA put an end to Hina Hayata .....
At ATTС, she was not included in the team ...And that means she will not be included in participation in the WTC....
(and this is minus 600 points for the previous ...)
She doesn’t play in pairs in Sweden ...(Ishikawa-Hirano)...
German Open - it was announced initially, but the application was withdrawn ....
It's a pity...
Actually, Hayata isn't playing WD in Sweden since she's going to be paired with Harimoto again for Mixed Doubles. Given that Mixed doubles is a separate Olympic event while Women's Doubles isn't, this is actually a good sign for her. As for the German Open, she's not sponsored by JTTA, but I'm 100% sure she's going to voluntarily participate. We just have to wait for ITTF to update Japan's player entries.
Also, just because you're not on the Asian Champs team doesn't mean you're not going to play the World Team Cup. If you use that logic, Ito also won't be playing the World Team Cup. Remember, the World Team Cup uses the Olympic System with doubles as the first match, which is Hayata's specialty. JTTA even benched Hirano for Hayata in all matches in last year's Team World Cup despite Hirano being clearly better than Hayata at that time. Given how Hayata has improved tremendously since the last Team World Cup in terms of singles ability, it's highly unlikely Hayata won't make the team of 5 players.
I've never heard of any news that Hayata and JTTA are having any disagreements, and I doubt they do. If that were the case, Mika Baba, the Head Coach of the Women's Team, wouldn't spend so much time coaching Hayata during the Qualification Rounds. To be honest, I don't think there's any beef here, and we just have patiently wait for the full entry list for the rest of the year's events. The real beef is with Chuang Chih Yuan and Taiwan's Table Tennis Association, which was really surprising and came out of nowhere.
