Xu Xin is afraid of falling out of the world's top ten! Brazil's star is close behind Malone, and the threat level has exceeded zhang Benzhihe. The International Table Tennis Federation updated the latest issue of the men's singles world rankings, compared with the previous issue, the current world ranking can be described as a huge change, in addition to Fan Zhendong and Ma Long continue to rank in the top two, from the third to the tenth have changed, Brazil's famous Calderano has risen to the third place, followed by Ma Long, it can be seen that Calderano's threat to the national table tennis has exceeded the Japanese player Zhang Benzhihe.
Since this edition of the World Rankings cleared points from many pre-2021 tournaments, many players' rankings have changed. Fan Zhendong continues to rank first in the world with 8598 points, and Ma Long ranks second with 5404 points, and there is a gap of more than 3000 points between the two, which shows that Fan Zhendong will remain the world first in a short period of time. Brazil's famous Calderano ranked third with 4913, there is only a gap of more than 400 points between him and Malone, considering that the international events behind Malone may not necessarily participate, and Calderano is at its peak, unless there are special circumstances that will not be absent from international events continuously, so Calderano is entirely possible to surpass Malone, and from the perspective of strength, Calderano is not a weak person, in many events can play to the last few rounds, fully capable of wrenching wrists with Fan Zhendong and other national table tennis main players, His threat to the national table tennis has surpassed That of Zhang Benzhihe. Zhang Benzhihe moved up one place to fourth with 4608 points.
Liang Jingkun is fifth with 3841 points, Germany's Ochalov is sixth with 3798 points, Lin Yunru of Chinese Taipei is seventh with 3705 points, and German veteran Bohr is eighth with 3512 points. Xu Xin dropped from the third place in the previous issue to the ninth place, directly down 6 places, the current Xu Xin's points are 3452, considering that Xu Xin is now selectively participating, so his world ranking is likely to fall out of the world's top ten. Lin Gaoyuan ranked tenth with 3303 points, from the current situation, Lin Gaoyuan's situation is still relatively awkward, although the coaching team has been giving him a chance, but he has not achieved the corresponding results, whether there will be so many opportunities to participate in the future is difficult to say. There is also a Chinese player in the world's top 20, he is the post-00s young player Wang Chuqin, who is now ranked 12th with 3007 points.
Among the top 30 players in the men's singles world, there are only 6 national table tennis players, and it can be seen from here that there are still too few second-tier players in the national table tennis men's team, and there are still some gaps compared with other associations. It is hoped that the national table tennis coaching team can give young players more opportunities in the future and let young players participate in international competitions to accumulate experience.
