On December 14, the Itté Tennis Federation released the latest edition of the World Rankings. In the women's singles rankings, Sun Yingsha, who has just won the World Cup in Singapore, ranked second in the world and continued to follow Chen Meng, who ranked first in the world, and the gap between the two is getting smaller and smaller. In the men's singles ranking, Fan Zhendong is firmly on the throne of the world's first place, and no one can shake it.
At the World Championships in Houston, Sun Yingsha broke into the women's singles final, losing to Wang Manyu and ranking second; Chen Meng lost to Wang Manyu and stopped in the round of 4. Coming to the World Cup in Singapore, Sun Yingsha defeated Wang Yidi in the final to win the championship; Chen Meng once again stopped in the top 4.
Through the point bonus of the two races, Sun Yingsha narrowed the point gap with Chen Meng to only 600 points, Chen Meng currently accumulated 13100 points, and Sun Yingsha scored 12500 points.
Although Ito did not participate in the World Cup, because Wang Manyu was out of the first round of the World Cup, Ito still ranked third in the world, and Wang Manyu ranked fourth, missing a good opportunity to surpass Ito Mimachi.
Wang Yidi climbed one place to the fifth place in the world with the world cup women's singles runner-up, breaking into the world's top five for the first time. Through the continuous test of international competitions, Wang Yidi has firmly sat in the position of the 5 main forces of women's table tennis.
Ding Ning, who has retired, has not cleared zero points and still ranks sixth in the world, while Ishikawa Jiachun, Zheng Yijing, Feng Tianwei, Zhu Yuling and Liu Shiwen rank seventh to 11th. Chen Xingtong rose two places to rank 13th in the world.
In the men's singles ranking, Fan Zhendong ranked first in the world, Ma Long and Xu Xin ranked second and third; Hugo, Zhang Benzhihe, Lin Yunru, Lin Gaoyuan, Liang Jingkun, Ocharov and Pol ranked fourth to 10th; Falke ranked 11th, and Wang Chuqin rose five places to rank 12th.
Judging from the latest world rankings, if Chen Meng cannot return to the best state in future competitions, Sun Yingsha's chances of winning the world first place are constantly increasing. The battle between Wang Manyu and Ito Mimachi for the third place in the world has become increasingly fierce.
In the men's singles, Fan Zhendong is thriving, no one can compete with it, it can be called a ride, Wang Chuqin's goal is to enter the world's top ten as soon as possible.
