The latest world ranking of the International Table Tennis Federation is released, of which the top 10 in the men's singles, the national table tennis occupies 5 seats, and the top 10 in the women's singles occupy 6 seats. For this ranking, many fans are paying attention to the rise and fall of national table tennis players, but Xiaobian has noticed two names: one is Hugo, who ranks 4th in men's singles, and the other is Hayata Hina, who is not on the women's singles list.
On the men's side, Fan Zhendong rode the dust, Wang Chuqin fought to break into the top 10, and Hugo ranked 4th worth vigilance.
The so-called know thyself and know thyself, never lose a battle. To see the changes in a world ranking, we must analyze it from both the enemy and the enemy. Just seeing the progress of your own players is still not comprehensive enough.
1. Little fat into the men's singles leader, Hugo ranked 4th by strength. In the latest edition of the World Table Tennis Federation's world rankings, Fan Zhendong ranked first in the world with 14145 points, pulling away 3635 points with Ma Long, who ranked 2nd, which is completely a ride on the dust. The origin of these multiple points is not brushed by the open singles champion, but with the support of the champion of the big competition. Among them, the 2020 World Cup won the championship, the Tokyo Olympic Games runner-up, the World Table Tennis Championships men's singles champion, the World Cup finals once again won the first "five crowns" of men's table tennis, and the acquisition of points in these competitions also shows the absolute strength of today's table tennis "one brother". Wang Chuqin came to the 12th place with his stable performance in the World Table Tennis Championships and the World Cup, and the young post-00 player should strive to reach the top 10 in 2022.
Every time we compete, we habitually list Zhang Benzhihe, Lin Yunru and Ocharov as opponents of the first group, but Hugo, who ranks 4th, is not too noticeable. Perhaps for Chinese players, the world ranking is not very important, and Hugo can rank after Xiao Fat, Ma Long, Xu Xin, the ranking of 4th still reflects his good singles strength in recent years. Hugo, the Singapore Finals, swept the main force of national table tennis Lin Gaoyuan 3-0. Near-stage speed, small-ball control in the stage, mid-range platform confrontation, Hugo does not have too obvious weak links.
Compared with Zhang Ben and Lin Yunru, Hugo is more experienced and stable; compared with Ocharov, Hugo's speed is faster; compared with Moregard, the "big dark horse" who reached the men's singles final of the World Table Tennis Championships, Hugo is a "regular" in the quarterfinals of the competition. Many fans also believe that Aruna's defeat of Liang Jingkun is a shock, and the elimination of Lin Gaoyuan by Hugo, who ranks 4th, is due to his strength. For such a brazilian athlete with outstanding athletic talent, we must always be vigilant against him.
In the women's singles, Ito Mimachi is in a pinch, and Hayata, who failed to enter the top 10, can't just look at the ranking.
The top 10 national table tennis in women's singles occupy 6 seats, of which Ding Ning retired and Zhu Yuling's body is still recovering. Mimako Ito, ranked 3rd, is in the middle of the "Mengshaman" attack. Wang Manyu and Ito only have a gap of 587 points; Wang Yidi came to the 5th place for the first time, which is also her biggest gain in the World Table Tennis Championships and the World Cup.
1. Rankings do not fully reflect strength, and Hina Hayata is more threatening. We can't just analyze opponents from a world ranking list, like Ishikawa Yoshijun, Feng Tianwei, Zheng Yijing, who are in the top 10 of women's singles, but in fact, their technical strength is not as good as Hayata's. Hayata finished second in mixed doubles and women's doubles at the World Table Tennis Championships, and reached the semifinals in the women's singles of the World Cup Finals, making her the best player on the Japanese women's team. Affected by the new crown epidemic, the ITTF cancelled the competition for multiple open tournaments, so the strong Hayata did not have the opportunity to participate in more open tournaments to refresh his ranking. As far as the threat to the national table tennis is concerned, Hayata's attack power is far greater than that of 28-year-old Ishikawa Yoshinori and 35-year-old Feng Tianwei.
If we only look for opponents by the list of the top 10 in the world, it is easy to miss Hayata. Hina Hayata is a post-00s player with great potential for growth, and her height of 1 meter 68 not only allows her to have a larger area of the platform, but also has the attack power of the long-distance platform that Ito and Hirano lack. Through the World Table Tennis Championships, the World Cup and the national table tennis players, Hayata Isina is more confident technically and psychologically, and Hayata is also the women's singles champion of the Japanese National Championships.
With her development momentum, it is likely to become the new "first sister" of Japan. When analyzing the ITTF rankings, we must not miss an opponent like Hina Hayata. In addition, Wang Yidi, who won the third place in the World Table Tennis Championships and the runner-up in the World Cup, is indeed commendable. After beating it out of Japan's Ito, Hirano, and Hitomi Sato, and becoming the first hero of "minesweeping", the on-the-spot strain and self-control of the game have been significantly improved. I hope that in the 2022 competition, Wang Yidi can continue to maintain such a stable state.
How do you interpret Hugo, who is ranked No. 4 in the world, and Hina Hayata, who failed to enter the top 10, are these two players the focus of national table tennis in the future? Welcome to leave a message, discuss, thank you for your attention! I am a teenager at the Temple of Horse riding.
