Actually, in women's singles, too, there are some interesting matches involving up-and-coming players: Gunji Riko, gold medallist in the 2019 World Junior Championships (and still a HS pupil), may well meet Yamaguchi Akane in R2. Takahashi Asuka will be aiming for an upset against Ohori Aya if she advances to the QF. Nidaira Natsuki, too, has made a tremendous comeback since her injury, and may come up against Okuhara Nozomi in the QF. The tournament should prove entertaining.
Thanks kurako, Yes i have watched Gunji Riko, Takahashi Asuka, Nidaira Natsuki matches and I like what I see. I think they are very promising. But if I am not wrong, I have also noticed Yamaguchi Akane, Okuhara Nozomi, Ohori Aya making improvements and have kind of upgraded their games. It is going to be exciting matches.
On November 25, Saishunkan announced the list of new players who have been signed on, as of April 2021. They are: 1. Gunji Riko. (18 years old. Not much of a surprise here. But as the GS gold medallist in the 2019 World Junior Championships, she is certainly the biggest catch.) 2. Hirokami Rui. (18 years old. 2020 German Junior Open Champion. Girls Doubles.) 3. Kato Yuna (18 years old. Pairs up with Hirokami.) 4. Kanehiro Miki (18 years old. 2019 Korea Junior Open Champion. Girls Doubles.) For a small team, this comprises quite a large intake of new blood.

I've just watched some matches of Koki Watanabe. I was impressive with his footstep, look like Momota's style. But unluckily, his height is 1m66.
do you know where international fans can watch online? I haven't seen any information about it on youtube yet.
Can someone who can understand japanese post timings of popular player matches like Momota, Watanabe, Okuhara, Yamahuchi. Thanks.
I only look at tomorrow schedule: Yuta/Arisa receives a bye in 1st round, hence no play Momota's match is numbered as MS1, will play after 2 XD matches on Court 1 (1st match started at 10:00AM - Japan time I think) Nishimoto's match: MS16 - Court 3, after 2 XD matches and 3 MS matches Yamaguchi: WS1 - Court 1, after 2 XD matches and 4 MS matches Okuhara: WS16 - Court 4 Draw: https://alljapan2020.info/tournament.pdf Timetable (Dec 22 & 23): https://alljapan2020.info/Timetable.pdf MS and WD play today
I would love to watch the matches. Unfortunately, the YouTube says the video is private and I am not allowed to watch. I don't mind to watch the replay if I can't watch the matches live. But I don't seems to be able to find any replay on YouTube. Really appreciate if anybody can give some links. Thanks.
