India National Thread

[Siddhartha Talukdar 246]

Even if Women don't get the team quota, getting two singles quotas won't be a cakewalk. One Singles quota is confirmed from South Asian Region as I think one quota will be given to each of the 5 regions in Asian single qualifiers, then the sixth quota will be a fight among the rest; most likely would be between North Korea, Thailand and India.

The next quotas would come at a qualification tournament and World Rankings. I estimated it will be distributed till Rank 101 whereas the next ranked Indian after Manika is Ayhika Mukherjee who is ranked 121.

I saw it in Table Tennis qualification forum. This practice was followed for previous Olympics as well.

In fact the ITTF calender shows a qualification tournament for Western Asia region to be held in Jordan in 23-26 Feb

Maybe or maybe not. The significant one is mixed doubles. But they maybe thinking it's not possible to get quota. 

 

I don't think it is rankings because whatever the case Sathiyan and Sharath could have easily got in. So maybe the team is skipping it.

Manika Batra is there . so it is not due to ranking. may be due to olympics qualification team tournament they are skipping

If the Men's team do qualify, then it could also present a historic qualification for the other South Asian nations to achieve a Men's Singles quota. Earlier, the other NOCs didn't bother turning up in qualification from South Asia

TT world qualification event

Women's team ( After 2 matches)

Sutheertha and Ayhika lost their doubles match 3-2

Manika won her singles match 3-1.

So the score is 1-1.
