Only tomorrow can I scroll over to next Sunday's programme list to see if they are showing some of the other matches on NHK. But I'm pessimistic.

Too bad, but NHK is not showing anymore of the matches .

Ha ha, first time I'm seeing Miyuki's writing. She travelled all the way from Osaka? I didn't know there was a stadium in Yoyogi. That is not so far from the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium. I wonder why she doesn't participate in BC.

There are many Japanophiles around, but few of them are in BC. Maybe you can join the club too . It's rather lonely out here. Georgie is a little lukewarm. suetyan should be relocating to KBA as well, given the record number of of photos she stole, LOL.

Our BCer from Japan, Miyuki, has been quiet recently

Yes, our BCer from Japan, Miyuki, has been quiet recently.

Then suddenly, we find her report here.

Okuhara bt Matsutomo in the early round. I guess Matsutomo plays too much doubles and forgot the tactics and strategies in singles. Just kidding, haha

Actually, I don't see it so much as Misaki losing, but rather Nozomi winning. For a 16-year old still in high school, and lack of international exposure, her performance has been remarkable. In April, she beat Taruno Megumi in the Osaka International. In August, she lost narrowly to Xia Jungyun. In Korea, she also lost narrowly to Sung Ji Hyun, and she's also the current Asian Youth champion. In my opinion, she's probably second to Inthanon for players under the age of 18.

Mitani looks very cute here. Where is the drooling blindfury? It's not often that she gets to be in the limelight.

It's not her first time, if you visit Badzine, you can also read some of her previous articles. If i'm not mistaken, Miyuki lives in Osaka. She did participate in BC, but I only saw her posts in the sub forum of 'Places to play - Japan/Korea'

[phil-mm]

do you know how tall is Minatsu?

She is 160 cm, according to NTT East.

 

[suetyan]

sad, Takuma Ueda lost to Ajay Jayaram 21-12, 21-16 in round 32 of IGP

 

[suetyan]

but she looks taller than that in the picture. Maybe she grows taller already. But, I know Goto Ai is around 150-153cm.
