Recently, WTT once again updated the world ranking of table tennis players, and by modifying the table tennis ranking points rules, many of the main players in the national table tennis have plummeted in the rankings or are still very lossy, of which the male single veteran Xu Xin has lost 6 places in a row, and Liu Shiwen has fallen to the 17th place, but as a strong opponent of national table tennis, Japan's main Japanese main Hayata Hina ranking has risen a lot!
It is reported that the international table tennis federation official recently issued an announcement that the table tennis world ranking rules have been adjusted again, the main modification place is the problem of the proportion of points, the current composition of athletes' points is 8 months of unexpired game points added up, and in 2020, the International Table Tennis Federation in order to adapt to the WTT event structure, the athlete's "initial points" will be adjusted to 80% of the individual points in December 2020, to 21 years is 50%, to 22 years is 20% !
Affected by this world ranking rule, the most obvious is that most of the main players in the world ranking of national table tennis players have been affected, of which the men's single in addition to Fan Zhendong first, Ma Long second, the veteran Xu Xin, who has been in the top three, directly fell 6 seats in a row to the ninth place, Lin Gaoyuan also fell to 10th, but Hugo rose 1 place, reaching a new high in the personal world ranking, while Liang Jingkun also rushed to the fifth place in the world due to his strong performance.
In the women's singles, Sun Yingsha overtook Chen Meng to become the first, Chen Meng second, but the main force of the other women's teams in the national table tennis team basically did not change much, but the veteran Ding Ning, although he no longer plays the game, is still ranked and in the 13th place, but the veteran Liu Shiwen slipped to 17th, Japan's Hirano Miyu, Ishikawa Yoshinon, Hayata Xina and even Singapore's Feng Tianwei and South Korea's Tian Zhixi are far ahead of Liu Shiwen's ranking.
It is worth mentioning that after the Adjustment of the Points Rules of the International Table Tennis Federation, Japan's main force is also a major rival of national table tennis, Hayata Hina, soared in the world rankings, and directly rose 10 places to the sixth place, the current Japanese world ranking players in addition to Ito Mimachi third, Hayata Hina is the world's highest ranking Japanese female table tennis player.
From the world ranking, it is not difficult to see that the national table tennis has encountered a lot of crisis, especially after the world ranking has been adjusted by the International Table Tennis Federation many times, the advantages accumulated by the early athletes have been infinitely squeezed and reduced, and the current International Table Tennis Federation in order to stimulate athletes to play more games, but let the world ranking look more like an "attendance sheet", which is a means for the International Table Tennis Federation to promote the new series of events such as WTT, but at the same time it will also feel pressure on the national table tennis.
After all, although the rules of the world ranking have been modified by the International Table Tennis Federation, the significance of the world ranking has not changed, the top of the ranking still determines the seed position of many world competitions, and there is a good ranking to ensure that the national table tennis gets the advantage of the signing position to a certain extent, after all, no one wants to see the national table tennis civil war early, which is very unfavorable to the national table tennis results, but it is indeed the international table tennis federation that is happy to see.
In addition, it is worth paying attention to Japan's Hayata Hina is indeed very strong, the progress is also very large, although Hayata Hina was not very obvious before, but in the women's doubles and Ito Mimakoto got some results to receive everyone's attention, but in recent years Hayata Hina has made great progress in strength, strength and some of the strength of the national table tennis players also have a fight, plus its play style is more comprehensive than Ito Mimako, the future threat is bound to be great, I hope that the national table tennis as soon as possible to pay attention to it.
