Yesterday, January 30, on the eve of the Spring Festival, the International Table Tennis Federation suddenly announced the world rankings for the fifth week of 2022 two days in advance, and the world rankings have also changed a lot since the proportion of points before 2020 has dropped from 50% to 20%. The most obvious is that Sun Yingsha surpassed Chen Meng with 7580 points and 405 points to become the new world number one after zero zero player. This time Ito lost again, and Sun Yingsha still won the world's first position with the Olympic Games, the World Championships and the WTT World Cup, all three international competitions to reach the final. Congratulations to Little Salsa!
The specific rankings are as follows, Xiao Sasha debuted in the women's singles world rankings with 7580 points, followed by Chen Meng in second place, Ito Mimachi did not change, she ranked third with 5216 points, Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi ranked fourth and fifth respectively. Japan's Hina Hayata rose to sixth place with the Asian Championship triple crown, Hong Kong's Du Kaixuan was seventh, and Ishikawa Yoshinori and Feng Tianwei were eighth and ninth respectively. South Korea's Chinese player Tian Zhixi ranked in the top ten of women's singles for the first time.
Ding Ning, Zhu Yuling and Liu Shiwen all dropped several places in the rankings, Ding Ning ranked 13th, Chen Xingtong ranked 14th, Zhu Yuling and Liu Shiwen ranked 16th and 17th respectively, it seems that Zhu Yuling and Liu Shiwen have to participate in the world rankings.
Compared with the men's singles side of the women's singles, the changes are not too big, and the top ten national table tennis players can still occupy half of the country. Little fat Fan Zhendong is still at the top of the list, Ma Long is second, but Brazilian youngster Calderano Hugo because he has participated in more international competitions, he set a new personal record and ranked third in the world for the first time, and Zhang Benzhihe did not change and still ranked fourth. However, the big fat Liang Jingkun ranked in the top five for the first time because of his good performance at the World Championships, and Xu Xin and Lin Gaoyuan ranked ninth and tenth respectively. Wang Chuqin ranked twelfth.
German doubles Ocharov and Bohr ranked sixth and eighth, and seventh was Chinese Taipei youngster Lin Yunru. Sweden's Moregold rose to eighteenth place in the final as he reached the World Championships.
Congratulations here to Sun Yingsha Xiao Sasha, the new year continues to work hard, although the WTT Macau tournament failed to reach the final, but it can be seen that the little girl actually wants to play every game well, but may be in the technical change period of changing the racket, and there is no official head coach to accompany, the heart may still be a little anxious. I hope that the national table tennis coaching team will quickly assign Sasha a new competent coach, and I believe that Sasha will also bring surprises to everyone. Come on!
The contest between Sasha and Ito Mimachi has just begun this year, in the past year, Sasha has won in the Olympic Games, I hope that Sasha will continue to maintain this state and strength of this foreign war in the future, don't look at Ito Mimachi this time to win the women's doubles and women's singles championships, but Sasha is still not afraid of her, meet her hope that Sasha still brings us surprises!
