The ITTF website has published the most recent world rankings, which are the 12th week ranking.
Due to the recent events, especially the Singapore Grand Slam, not only the prize money is high, but also the points are high, resulting in a lot of changes in the world rankings.
Let's first look at the men's table tennis world rankings. (Pictured below)
In the Singapore Grand Slam tournament, Fan Zhendong won the men's singles and men's doubles championships, and won a prize of 106,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to 674,600 yuan. He also earned 2000 points. According to the latest calculation method, Fan Zhendong's latest points is 10598 points, which is just 2000 points more than the 8598 points in week 11, and continues to rank first in the men's table tennis world.

His latest points reached 6804, just 1400 more than the 5404 in Week 11. He continues to rank second in men's table tennis. Fan Zhendong's total points are 3794 more than Ma Long's. As long as there is no big change, Fan Zhendong will occupy the first place in the men's table tennis world for a long time.
The good news is that Liang Jingkun has risen to the third place in the men's table tennis world. Leung won third place in men's singles at the Singapore Grand Slam and won not only a $30,000 prize, but also 700 points. His latest points reached 4941 points.
In week 11, Liang Jingkun scored only 4241 points, ranking fifth in the men's table tennis world. Brazilian player Victor Hugo has 4913 points to rank third in the men's table tennis world. Hugo had a poor performance at the Singapore Grand Slam, losing 2-3 in the first round of the main round to Portugal's Girard, who was ranked 62nd in the world, and suffered a round trip. Not only did he lose the game, but the world rankings also slipped. With only 64 in the round, Hugo only scored 10 points. In week 12, Hugo's total points were 4923, just behind Liang Jingkun's 4941 points, and the world ranking slipped to fourth place. Liang Jingkun rose to the third place. In this way, Chinese men's table tennis won the top three.
Also slipping in the rankings is Zhang Benzhihe of Japanese table tennis. Cheung also suffered a round trip at the Singapore Grand Slam. He lost 3-1 to American Karnak in the first round of the main tournament, scoring only 10 points and a total of only 4618 points, slipping one place to fifth.

Lim Gaoyuan lost 3-0 to South Korea's Lim Jong-hoon at Singapore's Grand Slam and also suffered a round of travel. Correspondingly, the world ranking also slipped by 2 places, ranking tenth in the world. Fortunately, it is still in the top ten. Five players in Chinese men's table tennis ranked in the top ten.
Wang Chuqin reached the round of 16 at the Singapore Grand Slam and rose one place to 12th. He's not far from the top ten in the world.
Let's look at the world ranking of women's table tennis. (Pictured below)
Before the Singapore Grand Slam, Sun Yingsha, who was no. 1 in women's table tennis, had only 405 more points than Chen Meng, who was second in the world, and Mimako Ito, who was third in the world, only 205 more points than Wang Manyu, who was fourth in the world. As mentioned earlier, Singapore's Grand Slam points are high, and one event can change the world rankings. In women's table tennis, there is a great embodiment.
At the Singapore Grand Slam, Chen Meng won the championship, Wang Manyu won the second place, Sun Yingsha won the third place, and Ito Mimachi advanced to the round of 16. The four people get different points, and the world ranking changes.
Chen Meng's latest points reached 9175 points, 895 more than Sun Yingsha's 8280 points, returning to the world's first place. Sun Yingsha's ranking slipped to second place. Sun Yingsha ranked first in the world at the end of January, just over a month, because of a Grand Slam tournament fell down.
Wang Manyu scored 1400 points at the Singapore Grand Slam and Ito only scored 175 points. Wang Manyu's latest points reached 6411 points, 1020 more than Ito's 5391 points. Ito's score is much less. Wang Manyu's world ranking rose to third, and Ito Mimachi slipped to fourth.
Chinese women's table tennis has won the top three places in the world women's table tennis rankings. Wang Yidi ranked fifth. In the top ten of the world's women's table tennis, the national table tennis occupies four seats. Chen Xingtong slipped down one place to rank 14th, Liu Shiwen rose one place to rank 16th, and Zhu Yuling, who did not participate, continued to decline in the ranking and ranked 18th.
