this WE is the 4th selection tournament towards the Paris Olympics. From now on, points are double those awarded in 2022 for this type of tournament.
there were 32 players on the start line in M and W
when you look at the point system, its very painful for a player to be injured and not be able to defend their chances. a defeat in R1 or R2 is also very painful.
and it seems to be the case for such high profile players like KIHARA, KATO, HASHIMOTO for girls or SHINOZUKA for mens.

in W, Miwa HARIMOTO won against Miu HIRANO in QF. ITO lost to NAGASAKI in R2, and NAGASAKI lost in QF to HAYATA.
in M, YOSHIMURA bros both lost i R1.

5-8, SF, and F tomorrow
M SF:
HARIMOTO - YOSHIYAMA
TOGAMI - TANAKA
W SF:
HARIMOTO - SATO
HAYATA - MORI
Tomokazu HARIMOTO and Hina HAYATA once again are confirming their leads in the standings.
but its very open for the second ticket both in M and W.
I'm sensing Miwa could surprise everyone. There are still many tournaments to come and points to be earned, if she can get this one, suddenly she'll be in the shortlist of players able to get the Paris ticket.

EDIT: i made a mistake, KIHARA didn't forfeit. She lost in R2 to a young player named I (who lost to SATO in QF)
neither did HASHIMOTO, who lost to SHIBATA in R2
