The women’s draw is out!

It’ll be interesting to see how Pavade fares against H. Sato. She’s been doing well against choppers lately, having beaten Han Ying 3–0 at the ITTF World Team Championships and French league choppers Yuka Kaneyoshi and Alexia Nodin 3–2.

Men's Draw is out as well

Men's Draw is out as well

I know Champions events are tough but maybe it is the absence of Australian players and the fact only 8 players are seeded but i can't remember a draw quite this dangerous. You can lose a lot of money betting on this lol...

Did Hashimoto pull out? Don’t see her name on the draw

Every country is capped at 4 (if you don't have Olympic champions who want to come back and play).

Ok thought the limit was 5

Ok thought the limit was 5

China can do 5 on men's side because WCQ is a champion or 6 on women's side (SYS, WMY) and Japan can do 5 if Ito want's to play but all regular countries have to do 4 and even China and Japan if those players are not involved. Also, WTT nominations and host wildcards can take a country past 4.

Ito can't as the Olympic Gold Cards are limited to those from the last edition only.
