Blown open to the other four/five members of the CNT?

Hmm, I did go take a look at the player list again and... lol

With Mang Manyu also not there then 3 of the top 8 seeds are Japanese.
China's no1 was the clear favourite but surely all 8 will fancy their chances now.
Is Miwa the favourite ?

Well no one beat a Chinese player in Montpellier except another Chinese player.

That said, details matter so I looked at the draw. They didn't reseed the draw but just replaced Sun Yingsha with Natalia Bajor. So now, the highest seed in the top quarter is Sato but she plays Odo in her first match so this is really Odo's quarter and Odo has been gifted a semi-final spot if se plays to her normal level. There are no CNT players in that quarter.

In Miwa's quarter, she gets Chen Xingtong if she gets far enough and that might be the most favorable draw Miwa van get of all the CNT players so it looks like a good one for her.

Wang Yidi and Chen Yi in the same quarter.

Hina Hayata and Kuai Man in the same quarter. Horror stories... and Miwa and Kuai are in the same half so Miwa had better learn real fast...

These are insane draws but nothing a good paycheck won't make up for...

An unfortunate draw for Sato as she faces fellow JNT player Satsuki Odo. She hasn’t beaten her at any WTT singles event.

Great to see Natalia Bajor in the lineup. Quite pity for Sato as she did not have good draw in Montpelier and now in Frankfurt. Odo seems to deal quite good with defenders.
