On December 2, Beijing time, the International Table Tennis Federation officially announced a new phase of the world table tennis women's single seed rankings, and the real loser has been revealed, that is, Liu Shiwen, who did not participate in the World Table Tennis Championships.
Liu Shiwen's loss can be said to be very serious, why is she the biggest loser? The winners this time must be Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi, because Chen Meng's 12575 points are still ranked first, Sun Yingsha's 11000 points are still second, Ito's 9965 points are the third in the world, Wang Manyu has risen to 9278 points and ranked fourth, and Wang Yidi's rise is more obvious, she has jumped from the world's 10th to the world's 6th, has reached a staggering 6688 points, and the gap from the front Of Ding Ning is less than 50 points, and she can soon surpass. So the two kings are winners, so who is the loser? Liu Shiwen, who ranked 10th.
Liu Shiwen's ranking has fallen to the tenth place in the world, and the impact of not participating in this World Table Tennis Championships on Xiao Zao is really very serious, what are her total points now? At 6038 points, Chen Meng is more than double the number of Points higher than Liu Shiwen, Sun Yingsha is 5000 points higher than Liu Shiwen, and even Ito Mimachi is 3927 points higher than Liu Shiwen, which is a huge and almost irreparable gap. That is to say, even if Liu Shiwen participates in the competition, it is almost impossible to return to the top 3 in the world, or even in the top 5 in the world, because there is really no such strength. Even if you go to the competition, won't your teammates go to the competition? Won't they have better grades than you? Therefore, Liu Shiwen is almost impossible to return to the world's top 3 or the world's top 5 in the first place.
The bigger problem is that Liu Shiwen is only one step away from falling out of the top 10, and now in front of her is not only Ding Ning, who has retired, but even Zhu Yuling, who has just undergone surgery, has a higher total score than her, not to mention others, including Japan's Ito Mimachi and Ishikawa Yoshinori, including Chinese Taipei's Zheng Yijing, etc., their total scores are much higher than Liu Shiwen, so Liu Shiwen's tenth position is unstable, and may even fall out of the top ten. And the importance of the world ranking, in the World Championships has been reflected at a glance, but as long as we can have several world-ranked players to participate in the men's singles event together, there will definitely be no 4 people in the first half of the district, the second half of the zhou Qihao alone to guard the half of the zone and lose early, the world ranking is so important.
The world ranking is to determine the grouping of each competition, if you are a highly ranked seed player in the world, you will avoid early civil war and cannibalism, but now that Liu Shiwen's ranking has plummeted, she will never participate as a seed player again, which means that Liu Shiwen is likely to participate in other competitions, because the ranking is too poor, so she will meet her teammates a few rounds in advance, meet Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu in advance. In terms of the hot state of the Iron Triangle now, the probability of Liu Shiwen wanting to win them is almost negligible, that is to say, Liu Shiwen may decline because of her ranking, resulting in the results of the next series of open tournaments are not good, because her ranking is too poor.
In the future, it will be difficult for her to avoid her teammates, and it will be difficult to achieve good results, and now she can't beat Sun Yingsha, and it is difficult to beat Chen Meng and Wang Manyu, so if you can't achieve good results, the rising star is more likely to surpass you, and you will gradually fade from the ranks of the core lineup of national table tennis. This time did not enter the World Table Tennis Championships is actually already a sign, and if she says that her ranking is getting lower and lower, the lottery is getting worse and worse, and the results are getting worse and worse, she will only gradually fade out of the ranks of the national core, which is a vicious circle. And the vicious circle in the end, Liu Shiwen does not want to retire, do not want to quit, because you have no achievements as a support.
Sometimes you want to achieve good results, not only for personal ability, but also for the lottery to help. Like the singles runner-up of the men's team this time, Moregold, he did not meet a Chinese player because of his good luck. So sometimes you want to get good grades, not only in terms of ability, you also need some luck, and now when your world ranking is too low, there is no luck to help you.
