I don't know why Nishimoto didn't take part this tournament while Naraoka, Tsuneyama took it.
Hopefully Okuhara does well but it is undeniable that she is past her prime and is now in the gradual descent of her career too. I don't think she can reliably win points for the team in future team championships either.I remember reading from an Instagram post of an Okuhara fan page about it & Okuhara's Insta stories about self-financing herself for this tournament. Seeing her struggle against Pai Yu Po in Denmark was sad to see, hope she progresses at least semis or the finals! Hoping she gets back into form gradually. Round 32 match results in 23-21 against Lauren Lam from the USA for the first set. Convingly doing a well second set until 21-15, giving Lauren Lam 4 points (21-11 down) then eventually winning. Hope for the best for Okuhara in this tournament!!!
Budget-wise, as far as Japan's A-Team is concerned, this is a self-financed tournament.
Nevertheless, Naraoka badly wants a place in the WTF; Tsuneyama realises that unless he amasses more points quickly, he will nose-dive down the rankings; ... as for Nishimoto??? Maybe he wanted a break before Australia??? But more likely, maybe he wants to participate in the S/J League for his new corporate team, JTEKT, on November 5 and 6. Actually, on November 6, JTEKT is slated to meet NTT-East. You never know; there could well be a show-down with Momota!!

Okuhara used to make efforts to retrieve every attacking shots just like Yamaguchi. But lately, she looked hesitant and selective about actively putting up a great defence. It looks like she is avoiding injury or trying not to aggravate injury or something. She is relying more on racket skill and good shot placements. If opponent persevere then problem.
Hope this is just a temporary thing. Missed the previous Okuhara. Anyway, win or lose, it is good of her to take part in order to keep in touch and also for live practices.
I wonder if she should consider going back to be part of the national team instead of continuing on as independent. Being in the national team, can get stable motivation and trainings. In Japan, Okuhara is the only one who can sometimes defeat Yamaguchi. Always great to watch these 2 fight each other. Some of the fiercest fights I've seen is watching these 2 fighting it out.

I usually bet against Yvonne Lee, Qi Xuefie, Lianne Tan. Iris Wang shows a little bit of improvement among this b-category, if I may put it so.I missed the Han Yue - Yvonne Li match, how did HY drubbed YL , 21-7, 21-9 ? Yvonne is no pushover, in my opinion.
