In the men's singles list, Fan Zhendong is unique, with 2,000 points won by the men's singles championship at the WTT Singapore Grand Slam, his total points have exceeded 10,000 points, high at the top of the list, Ma Long is close behind, and the gap with him has reached 3794 points.

In the women's singles, the biggest change is the world's first substitution, Chen Meng, who won the Grand Slam championship in Singapore, once again surpassed Sun Yingsha in points, returning to the world's first position with 9175 points, and Sun Yingsha ranked second with 8280 points. Singapore's runner-up Wang Manyu surpassed Japan's Ito Mimachi to third place with 6411 points and Ito 5391 points; Wang Yidi continued to rank fifth. Liu Shiwen was promoted 1 place to rank 16th.
Since the Chinese Table Tennis Association has previously issued a selection method for the hangzhou Asian Games participation list, it mentions that the singles champion of the WTT Singapore Grand Slam event will directly qualify for the Asian Games. Therefore, Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng joined hands in advance to obtain the men's and women's singles qualifications for the Hangzhou Asian Games. The remaining one seat belongs to the world rankings announced by the INTERNATIONAL Table Tennis Federation during the 14-week period at the end of 2022 (April 4-10, 2022), when the highest ranking in singles is 1 Chinese athlete for each woman and a woman, and if it is the same as the WTT Grand Slam (Singapore), it will be extended to the second chinese athlete in singles.
Therefore, the women's singles final in Singapore, Chen Meng's victory, indirectly completed Sun Yingsha's singles qualification for the Hangzhou Asian Games. Because before the women's singles final began, Chen Meng had already determined that in the world rankings of the new cycle, he surpassed Sun Yingsha and returned to the first position. So if wang Manyu finally wins the women's singles championship, then she will directly qualify for the Asian Games singles, and Chen Meng will get the second singles seat with the world's first qualification. Nowadays, it seems that Chen Meng won the championship, but he achieved Sun Yingsha, and it can also be regarded as a lucky goddess favor of Sun Yingsha.
