This is one of the crazy things to me about this sport. Halfway around the world (for most players) for a 500 level tournament and someone ranked #53 doesn't even get in the main draw.

Also, 4 wild cards in a 32 person draw is BS.

Mochizuki is 20 years old and had 0 tour wins before this week. Former world #1 junior, assume he got a WC into Tokyo because he's from there. Now he's in the semifinals. Great story. I usually miss the good stuff from Asia because I don't watch the matches and I'm not tuned in. The first point of these highlights (set point) is fantastic.

Shelton beat Paul in straights to make the semis, too. FAA made a quarterfinal but lost to Giron. Karatsev seems to be on a tear. Who's the favorite for the title, Ben or Karatsev?

Shelton all the way! It's been fun watching his meteoric rise since turning pro. 2024 is going to be a good year for him. Best American male as far as I can tell
