The WTT Macau Championships ended a few days ago, and this week the ITTF announced the latest edition of the world rankings, although Wang Chuqin and Wang Manyu won the WTT Macau Championship, but there was no change in the ranking of the two, because this tournament announced early only prize money, no world ranking points. Wang Manyu also had no chance to surpass Ito Mimachi to rise to the third place in the world.
Since the WTT Macau Championship has no world ranking points, the world ranking in this period has not changed from the previous period, and the national table tennis still occupies the world first place in men's singles, women's singles and women's doubles. Men's singles Fan Zhendong, Ma Long and Xu Xin won the top three, women's singles Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha occupied the top two, and women's doubles Wang Manyu/Sun Yingsha ranked first. The Swedish duo of Karlsson/Falke is still the world number one in men's doubles, and the mixed doubles world number one is the Japanese combination of Hayabusa Mizutani/ Mishimasa Ito.
In the women's singles world rankings, Wang Manyu, who has 9378 points, is still 587 points away from Japan's Mimachi Ito, who ranks third. After winning the women's singles championship at the Houston World Table Tennis Championships last year, Wang Manyu ushered in the opportunity to surpass Ito Mimachi and rise to the third place in the world, but in the subsequent WTT World Cup final, Wang Manyu was out of the first round, failed to increase points, and still ranked fourth. In this year's WTT Macau Championship, although Wang Manyu won the women's singles championship, there were no points in the competition, and Wang Manyu still had no chance to surpass Ito Mimako. Wang Manyu wants to improve the world ranking only by waiting for the next international competition.
Last week, WTT released its first-quarter event calendar, March 7-20, which will host WTT Grand Slam Asia, but the venue has not been determined. The WTT Regular Season Challenge Doha will be held in Doha, Qatar, from March 18 to 24, and the WTT Star Challenge doha from March 25 to 31. Although the national table tennis has not yet announced the next participation plan, the focus of the national table tennis competition will definitely be the team world table tennis championships held in Chengdu from April 17 to 26, and Wang Manyu wants to surpass Ito In the world rankings at least until March.
