World Junior Championships (WJTTC) 2019 in Karat, Thailand

[mrk]

I don't understand why the JNT coach made IDESAWA the #2 player ? When was the last time a Chinese player lost against a Long Pips player ? KIHARA as #3 won rather comfortably her match. She should have been #2

This is not understandable. Kihara should have played 2 matches.

Same thing a year later.

This new Japanese generation plays better when trailing behind. They have to work on closing it out when having the lead.

Uh-huh.

At this rate, Nagazaki will drop off the radar. She's only less than 2 years younger than Ito and the likes. If CNT's experience applies as well for JNT, she will live under their shadows and fade away. Kihara has it a little better given those 2 extra years, but it will still be difficult for her.

Maybe we will see Nagasaki going to Austria following Hamamoto ?

They are both cuties

Nagaskai is always welcome too come play for the Netherlands.

I just saw that Haruna beat Xunyao 4-0. The JNT junior coaches cost the girls the title.

Truls is through to the semis in the singles. I really hope that he can pull it through this time as it would mean a lot to Swedish TT. Especially for the younger kids who will see that it's possible to make it if they put enough energy and dedication into it.

First time ever China drops the girls' singles title since the inception of WJTTC in 2003.

Also, first time ever we have an all-Japan final.

If they had played Haruna next to Nagasaki and Kihara, they would have won tthe teams as well.

You gotta wonder what they were thinking. The JNT is still behind the KNT when it comes to grit.

The Great Wall has been breached in GS, BD, and WD.

Add XD to the list.

Japan slowly but surely catching up
