Nine Japanese women but neither Kihara nor Hirano entered this tournament. Satsuki is doing triple duty being entered in singles, WD (with Miwa), and XD (with Togami).

No Chinese men/women at all? Why is that? It gives a lot of points to the players

 

[scousebr]

I suppose it kinda clashes with their national championships, and they prefer to focus on that. It should be a good tournament anyway. I'm excited about it! It's not everyday you get to see stars playing in your own city, especially if it's not a major city in a table tennis country.

This will probably turn out to be All Japan TT Championships for WS by the QF round

Surprised Tomo-boy is not here to claim more points now that he has slipped to Japan #2 by WR.

Main draw bracket is out for anyone interested. Hugo will have a challenging first match, with Andre most likely facing him R32.

Not surprised at all, bigger events are coming up and what you have described is a minor crisis. What will be interesting is whether he has any real solutions, the problem is incredibly difficult, Ma Long endorsing him is not going to solve it.

Miwa withdrew. She will be at the T-League Season opener to be held in Taiwan.

 

[linuques]

Miwa withdrew. She will be at the T-League Season opener to be held in Taiwan.

Disappointed not seeing Miwa considering she was announced and she's the "defending champion" (last year's Foz do Iguacu).
An interesting Japanese posse, though, we'll have Hayata instead of Miwa.

Odo seems to have dissolved her partnership with Alexis, both are playing XD but with different partners. I wonder if it's because of the incident last time they played together lol.

 

[scousebr]

I'm not sure you guys have been following the qualifiers, but the quality of some matches have really impressed me. Sure, it's just the qualifiers, but still some good matches on the evening sessions yesterday and today.
Sarmento, the local hero, made it to the main draw after fighting back from 2-0 down.

Adriana had to withdraw from the tournament. It seems she ran into a visa issue.

Odo and Alexis are signed up for Europe Smash. I would guess that the their federations made an agreement that they would only play in Smashes, due to harsher NER rules.

So many landmines in Hugo's draw.

 

[Asgerje]

Finally they fixed the camera angle, hopefully its not only for QLF but also for main draw.

 

[andymagata]

Interesting to see how Mattias Karlsson plays with cybershape! Better forehand, worse backhand?
