On December 14, the ITTF announced the latest edition of the world rankings. The national table tennis team continued to dominate the list, with 6 men's teams entering the top 16 and women's teams with 8 entering the top 16. Careful observation of this world ranking, you can see that the echelon construction of national table tennis has achieved great success, and Wang Chuqin and Wang Yidi have become the biggest surprises and highlights of this ranking.
Wang Chuqin: The results are stable, and he has successfully squeezed into the top 16
Wang Chuqin, who is born in 00, has always been trained by the national table tennis team with high hopes and as a successor. At the Tokyo Olympics, Wang Chuqin also squeezed out Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan and others to get the quota of p cards. Although high expectations were placed on him, Wang Chuqin's previous achievements were constantly ups and downs. In the world ranking updated last week, Wang Chuqin ranked 17th, still squeezed out of the world's top 16.
After the Tokyo Olympics, Wang Chuqin's performance and status have become increasingly stable. In the previous World Table Tennis Championships, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha won the mixed doubles championship, and although they lost to Fan Zhendong in the singles arena, they ensured that they did not lose foreign battles. Just past the World Cup, Wang Chuqin fell again in Fan Zhendong in the semi-finals, but defeated Lin Yunru in the first round of the game and won the strong dialogue after 00. Relying on his recent stable performance, Wang Chuqin climbed 5 places in the world rankings to 17th.
With the fading of Ma Long and Xu Xin, Wang Chuqin needs to play more roles and undertake heavier tasks in the future. With the increase of opportunities, I hope that Wang Chuqin can grow up further.
Wang Yidi: The momentum has been fierce recently, and it has reached the top 5
Compared with the men's team, the echelon construction of the women's team is very smooth. Ding Ning retired, Liu Shiwen faded out, Zhu Yuling was plagued by injuries, and the national table tennis women's team was basically not affected in any way. Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu have become increasingly stable and have achieved outstanding results, and have become the "troika" of national table tennis, and Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong have also made obvious progress and slowly become the main players of national table tennis.
In addition to Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, the two main players, the most outstanding player in the national table tennis in recent times is Wang Yidi, who has risen significantly, relying on his excellent results, and has squeezed into the top 5 for the first time in the ranking.
After the National Games, Wang Yidi participated in two challenge competitions and won a double championship, losing to Ni Xialian. The loss of this ball had a great impact on Wang Yidi, making her play more firmly and more focused in the subsequent World Table Tennis Championships and World Cup matches. At the World Table Tennis Championships, Wang Yidi defeated two strong opponents, Hayata Hina and Ito Mimako, and reached the final four to help the national table tennis team win the championship in advance. In the World Cup, Wang Yidi continued his fiery performance, defeated Chen Meng, and reached the final. The World Cup entered the final, this battle brought Wang Yidi 1050 points, and it was natural to enter the top five.
After the Tokyo Olympic Games, the national table tennis accelerated the pace of alternating between the old and the new, and set off a youth storm in the World Table Tennis Championships. Wang Chuqin, Wang Yidi and other reserve forces have been given more opportunities to exercise, and in the face of opportunities, they have also played excellent results. Kudos to the national table tennis!
