Akutsu vs Amadeus: 1-6

Spoiler: Predictions

Akutsu takes it 7-5

Against my better judgement: Akutsu wins 7-6 (7-5).

Amadeus takes it 6-3 there's no way Akutsu is beating a pro.

Amadeus wins 6-4.

6-3 Amadeus

I'm for Akutsu. 7-6

Amadeus 7-5...

Round 15
Line-up predictions for Japan in the first round of the main tournament. I don't know if we're sticking with the doubles --> singles order or switch back to alternating, so go with whatever seems more likely to you or feel free to make one prediction for each system if it has an impact on what you think is going to happen.

--- Double Post Merged, Sep 13, 2017, Original Post Date: Sep 5, 2017 ---

I think I've settled on something (for now...). Gonna submit two, one for each match order, since while the players stay the same, the specific line-up changes depending on that.

Group League Order
D2: Mouri/Marui
D1: Kimijima/Niou
S3: Kirihara
S2: Atobe
S1: Irie

National Order
S3: Kirihara
D2: Irie/Niou
S2: Kimijima
D1: Mouri/Marui
S1: Atobe

--- Double Post Merged, Nov 7, 2017 ---

Round 15 (see above) is still on-going.

We will also start Round 16: Who is Oishi's replacement and Japan's final representative?

I will award 2 points to anyone who gets it right. You have time until the next set of spoilers comes out, regardless of whether the player in question is revealed next month or not.

 

[Hardy]

Let's see.

For the new spot, I'll say Kikumaru.

For the line-up:

S3: Sengoku
D2: Kaji / Kikumaru
S2: Yanagi
D1: Kimijima (captain) / Marui
S1: Mouri

Will modify it later and add exceptions (like a different format or Kikumaru not being in the team).

 

[Kaoz]

By different format, do you mean play order? Or tournament format?

 

[Hardy]

The same as you did (order), unless for some reason it also gets confirmed that repeats will be allowed.

 

[Kaoz]

In that case I'll pose a follow-up question: where do you see Date, Nakagauchi and Hakamada?

 

[Hardy]

So far, at their homes tbh, lol. Date and Hakamada might die playing doubles against the French to hype the opponent I guess.

 

[Kaoz]

Well, if there are no repeats and assuming we don't skip round 1, they'll have to play at some point.

 

[Hardy]

Yeah as I said, in either of the first two rounds, mostly as either filler or to lose to hype someone stronger. The only one I see perhaps playing later is Nakagauchi if paired with Oni but it's very unlikely.

--- Double Post Merged, Nov 7, 2017, Original Post Date: Nov 7, 2017 ---

Mouri in s1 was filler too btw

 

[Kaoz]

Hm I can't pin down a line-up yet, there's a lot of possibilities to consider...

But I will enter my prediction for the final representative: Tezuka.

 

[Hardy]

I don't think there's THAT many, having in mind everything we've talked about so far.

-Japan will likely 3-0, at worst 3-1.
-The new players and the ones that didn't get to play are more prone to have a spot here.
-With that we have: Sengoku is a singles player, Kaji likely doubles (and he wouldn't be able to carry a match of his own story wise anyway), Kimijima is in a similar situation, Marui plays doubles, Mouri can play wtv but he is quite irrelevant and might not touch a tennis ball again in NPoT (this last part applies to the "three other" HSers too).
-Complete the line-up based on your other predictions and who you think isn't important/strong enough to play a match in the future.

 

[Kaoz]

To be honest with you, I disagree with half of that.

-Japan will likely 3-0, at worst 3-1.

I think it'll be a 3-2, just to give everyone a match in the end. Which reminds me...

Round 17
Japan vs Aramenoma

If there's no match, this round is cancelled. You have until spoilers come out to predict a result.

-The new players and the ones that didn't get to play are more prone to have a spot here.

I agree with this one.

-With that we have: Sengoku is a singles player, Kaji likely doubles (and he wouldn't be able to carry a match of his own story wise anyway), Kimijima is in a similar situation, Marui plays doubles, Mouri can play wtv but he is quite irrelevant and might not touch a tennis ball again in NPoT (this last part applies to the "three other" HSers too).

• I think Sengoku is going to be in doubles, maybe even with Kaji. Unless his level went through the roof while we weren't looking, I don't think he's good enough to grab one of the 12 singles spots.
• Kaji is probably going to play doubles, yeah.
• Kimijima I'm actually not so sure about. If he's in one of the weaker teams, i.e. what we're predicting right now, I think it's possible he could be in singles.
• Marui: doubles, definitely.
• Mouri I expect to be in doubles as well. He's the other super doubles specialist besides Ochi after all. Plus, his fanbook entry said he doesn't have enough power for singles (possible that he fixed it, but I wouldn't bet on it).
• It's possible that Date and co. will get off-screened, but that doesn't matter a lot for line-up creation.

 

[Hardy]

Uhm, until when can we predict the result of Japan vs Aramenoma? Before the first match of the round or during it?

 

[Kaoz]

Uhm, until when can we predict the result of Japan vs Aramenoma? Before the first match of the round or during it?

Before it starts.

--- Double Post Merged, Nov 10, 2017, Original Post Date: Nov 7, 2017 ---

Vs Aramenoma

D2 Hakamada/Kirihara
D1 Mouri/Marui
S3 Sengoku
S2 Niou
S1 Kimijima

Same positions regardless of play order.

 

[-Ken-]

Round 16 I'll put it to Momoshiro. I'm busy right now so not sure if I'll have time to do round 15, but I'll see. Never thought I'll place first in this tournament after messing up guessing the country by misunderstanding the rules though.
