On May 3, the BWF released the latest edition of the world rankings, with Denmark's Acelon, Japan's Akane Yamaguchi, Indonesia's Gideon/Sukamuyo, China's Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan, and Thailand's Dechapo/Sha Xili topped the men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles respectively. In terms of the most eye-catching men's singles, Weng Hongyang, a Chinese teenager who has recently gained unlimited limelight, has come to 56th place, ranking 8th among the men's singles players of guoyu.
In early April, Weng Hongyang, who debuted internationally, was ranked only 156th in the world, but he won the Korean Open in one fell swoop, and then entered the second round of the Korea Masters and retired, climbing to 81st in the world ranking. At last week's Asian Championships, he broke through from the qualifiers to the final four, and the ranking rose again by 25 places to 56th!
Raising the ranking by 100 places in a month has made Weng Hongyang's position in the Chinese badminton team change dramatically. In the upcoming Thomas Cup, he has been selected for the squad, and it is no surprise that the world ranking will rise, and it will be bound to enter the top 50. Of course, the fans' expectations of him are not as simple as entering the world's top 50, becoming a new brother is the least.
So, how many brothers is Weng Hongyang now? The answer is 8 brothers.
In front of him are Chen Long, who is in 7th place, Shi Yuqi in 16th place, Lu Guangzu in 25th place, Huang Yuxiang in 36th place, Zhao Junpeng at 38th place, Li Shifeng at 50th place, and Sun Feixiang at 54th place. Among them, Lu Guangzu, Zhao Junpeng, Li Shifeng, Sun Feixiang and Weng Hongyang, like Weng Hongyang, were all selected into Thomas's list.
In the women's singles, Chen Yufei, who missed the Asian Championships, is still a sister, ranked 3rd in the world, and in front of her are Akane Yamaguchi and Dai Ziying. In addition, He Bingjiao ranked 9th, Asian Championship winner Wang Zhiyi promoted 1 place to 15th, Han Yue 24th, and Zhang Yiman was 32nd.
In terms of men's doubles, the Chinese team can be described as miserable. He Jiting/Tan Qiang, who have been demolished, are ranked 19th, the highest-ranked pair among the national feathers, and the top 100 are also 47th Di Zijian/Wang Chang, and Liu Cheng/Zhang Nan, who are 69th. In the new combination, Liu Yuchen / Ou Xuanyi rose to 118th place.
In women's doubles, Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan continues to rank No. 1 in the world, Li Wenmei/Zheng Yu, who has been dismantled, ranks 14th, and Liu Xuanxuan/Xia Yuting ranks 21st. Du Yue/Li Wenmei, who met with Fan Chen in the semi-finals of the Asian Championships, ranked 36th, which is a gratifying phenomenon.
In mixed doubles, Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong and Wang Yilu/Huang Dongping, who won the Asian Championship and runner-up, maintained their previous rankings, still in 2nd and 4th places. Among them, there is only a difference of 1798 points between the IELTS combination and the first Dechabo/Sha Xili, if there is no split pair in the middle, it should have returned to the world first.
