The ITTF has updated the latest edition of the World Rankings, which has changed significantly due to the recent conclusion of the Grand Slams and the fact that the points are awarded equally to the World Table Tennis Championships.
First of all, looking at the men's world rankings, Fan Zhendong, as the men's singles champion of the Grand Slam, has accumulated 2000 points, and the total number of points has reached 10598 points, ranking first in the world, becoming the first men's singles player with more than 10,000 points. It will be difficult for anyone to surpass Fan Zhendong's position for a long time in the future, because the second place in the world is the Grand Slam singles runner-up Ma Long, with only 6804 points, and Fan Zhendong's points difference of nearly 4000 points. The second place is nearly 4,000 points behind the first place, not to mention the other players, Fan Zhendong is firmly ranked first in the world.
Liang Jingkun's world ranking has improved significantly, and he has come to the third place in the world, with points as high as 4941 points. Liang Jingkun is the third place in singles at a Grand Slam tournament, and there are also many points. Brazil's Hugo is followed by fourth in the world, with only 18 points less than Liang Jingkun. In fifth place is Japanese brother Tomokazu Zhang Ben, with 4618 points. Due to Zhang Benzhihe's upset exit at a Grand Slam tournament, the points basically did not increase.
The players in the 6th to 10th places are Lin Yunru, Ochalov, Xu Xin, Boer and Lin Gaoyuan. Starting from the 6th place, the number of points is gradually less than 4,000 points, which is a big gap with the top 5 players, and the men's world ranking will be stable at a stage for a long time to come.
Competition for the women's world rankings is more intense, especially within the women's national table tennis team. Chen Meng, because he won the Grand Slam women's singles championship, accumulated 2,000 points like Fan Zhendong, surpassing Sun Yingsha to return to the world first place, with points as high as 9175 points. Sun Yingsha only finished third in singles at a Grand Slam tournament and is currently ranked second in the world with 8280 points. Wang Manyu's ranking has finally risen, squeezing into the world's top 3 for the first time. With the runner-up in the women's singles of the Grand Slam, Wang Manyu accumulated 1400 points, and the total number of points reached 6411 points, surpassing the previous 3rd place Japanese sister Ito Mimako.
Due to the defeat of France's Yuan Jiannan in the Grand Slam tournament, Ito Mimachi slipped to the fourth place in the world, with a total of 5391 points. Wang Yidi ranked 5th, with the grand slam women's singles third place, Wang Yidi's points and Ito Mimakoto are getting closer and closer, up to 5127 points, surpassing Ito Mimako.
The runners in 6th to 10th places were Hina Hayata, Yoshinori Ishikawa, Kai-chun Du, Diaz and Feng Tianwei. As in the men's event, points have fallen sharply from 6th place, all below 5,000 points. It is difficult to surpass the top 5 players in the world in a short period of time, so it is difficult for the women's world ranking to change in a short period of time.
