Well, to highlight the point that we made yesterday about Georgia’s match-ups and the strength of the Japanese contingent… here’s how Georgia’s last 3 Day 1 opponent’s stood at the end of Day 2. Asaki Hasegawa (her 4th round opponent) is in 4th place overall with a record of 5 wins, 0 losses and 2 ties, entering the Top 8 playoffs as the #4 seed. Hajime Imura (her last round loss) finished in 9th place (1 spot out of the Top 8 playoff) with a record of 5-1-1. Iori Kato (her 5th round loss) finished 32nd with a record of 4-3. Georgia was dialed in yesterday, crushing every US players she faced. How she drew this trio of amazing players is beyond us. We assume Top 8 matches are underway and we don’t know how they are progressing, but 5 of the 8 are Japanese.
