The JTTA site indicates Miwa's brother is sent on JTTA expense, and Ito and Hirano have applied to play at their own expense.

Ito's and Hirano's name "were disappeared".

One 5ch user points out that Uda's name disappeared earlier as well.

Not enough players.

MS: 58
WS: 47

The PDR, only 6 from top 20 for SCT, sounds so dumb as it ends up hurting participation in this case, especially when WTT can't host enough GS and CS for the top players, yet the WTT structure and ranking system force players to participate.

https://wttwebcmsprod.blob.core.windows.net/technicaldocuments/WTT_Series%20&%20Feeder_Handbook_2023.pdf

4. PLAYER CODE OF CONDUCT 4.1 Entry/Withdrawal Offences ... 4.1.13 Top 100 Player Half Year Playing Schedule a) All top 100 singles player on the ITTF TTWR must register their half-year playing schedule, defined as any Table Tennis event, (i.e. WTT Events and non-WTT Events) with WTT by 31st December and 30th June respectively.

There is no level requirements to enter WTT Contender?
