A few days ago, the BWF released the latest edition of the world rankings, because last week's Swiss Open level is not very high, many big players did not participate, so in the overall ranking competition, there is not much change, the top ten of the five individual events have not changed. Guo Yu is still only in the women's doubles, with Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan occupying the first place, Chen Yufei ranking third in the women's singles, Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong ranking second in the mixed doubles, and Wang Yilu/Huang Dongping ranking fourth. But just recently, the BWF issued a document considering unfreezing the world rankings, using a new way to calculate the world rankings, only counting the sum of the 10 highest race points in the last 52 weeks as the basis for the ranking. The specific implementation time will take some time to transition.
The current world ranking system of the BWF is the sum of the highest 10 race points in all competitions since 2019, as the basis for ranking, so like Chen Long of the national feather and Marin of Spain, they have applied for the protection of the world ranking and can continue to rank in the top ten in the world on the basis of a long absence from the tour. In the absence of most international events in the past two years, The national feathers can still occupy the top position in several events, and also benefit from the points earned in the frequently participated events in 2019 as a guaranteed score.
If according to the latest ideas of the BWF, the world rankings are completely unfrozen and changed to the 10 points of the highest points in all competitions in the last 52 weeks, that is, in the past year or so, as the basis for the ranking, then for the Chinese badminton team, it will be a nearly devastating blow, and many people will plummet in the world rankings. In the men's singles and men's doubles events, no one in The National Feather will be able to enter the top 25, and in the women's singles, He Bingjiao can still enter the top ten, ranking seventh, while Chen Yufei fell to 14th. Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan of the women's doubles will also fall to seventh, while Wang Yilu/Huang Dongping of the mixed doubles will fall to eighth.
Under this new ranking system, the world number one in the five individual events will also have a certain change, and the men's singles is still a Danish brother Acelon, who frequently participates in various competitions and is far ahead of other opponents. The world number one in women's singles will become Japan's famous Akane Yamaguchi, who, like South Korea's talented girl Ahn Seok-ying, is a model worker, participating in many races in succession, and the two are in the top two; while the current world number one Dai Ziying will fall to 22nd place. In the men's doubles, the Indonesian "minion" duo Gideon/Sukamuyo still ranks first, but the Japanese combination of Hoki Shōro / Yugo Kobayashi is less than 700 points behind them; the world number one in women's doubles will become the South Korean combination Kim Joo Young / Kong Hee-yung; and the world number one in mixed doubles is still the Thai combination of Dechabo / Sasili, who is the only single world number one with a point of more than 100,000.
