On May 10, Beijing time, the International Table Tennis Federation officially announced the world ranking list for the 19th week of 2022. Affected by the results of the WTT Fremont Race in the United States, the points of some athletes have improved, including two big dark horses from Japan - men's singles champion Shinazuka Daiden rose 29 places (currently ranked 59th), and women's singles champion Asuka Sasao rose 618 places (currently ranked 92)!
However, since the Fremont tournament is played by low-ranking athletes, this battle does not have much impact on the overall situation of the world rankings. At present, national table tennis players Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha / Wang Manyu are still the first in men's singles, women's singles and women's doubles, the Chinese Taipei combination Lin Yunru / Zheng Yijing mixed doubles first, and the Japanese combination Yukiya Utada / Toue Hayasuke men's doubles first.
As in the previous period, there are still 3 of the top ten players in the men's singles latest world rankings from the national table tennis, that is, the top 3 Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, and then the Brazilian fierce victor Hugo continues to rank 4th, then Moregolde 5th, Dako 6th, Zhang Benzhihe 7th, Lin Yunru 8th, Ocharov 9th, Aruna 10th - Asia, Africa, the Americas have people on the list, looking very harmonious.
The top ten women's singles players are almost all Asian or Chinese players, with Chinese table tennis players Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi in the top 4, Japan's Hina Hayata, Ito Mimachi and Ishikawa Yoshinori ranking 5th, 6th and 10th respectively, Hong Kong's Du Kaixuan 7th, German Chinese player Han Ying 8th, and Puerto Rico's Diaz ranking 9th.
As mentioned earlier, the two athletes with the largest increase in the latest singles are The Japanese team's Shirazuka Dado and Asuka Sasao, the former won the world champions Fark and Zhuang Jiyuan in the United States, and the latter did not even have a world ranking at the beginning of this month, but by defeating the performance of South Korea's Olympic main force Shin Yubin and others, they directly broke into the top 100 list, which is indeed a rocket-like rise.
The pattern in doubles has not changed much, Yukiya Utada / Hayabusa Toue as the men's doubles world number one combination, and they also "condescended" to participate in the WTT low-level competition, and then won the championship, really no chance left for others! As for Sun Yingsha/Wang Manyu, Lin Yunru/Zheng Yijing, although they did not participate in international competitions, they still had enough points and would not be surpassed for the time being.
Since there is no relatively high-level competition to be held in the near future, the world ranking will not change much in a short period of time, and the main players of national table tennis and foreign association players such as Ito Mimachi, Zhang Benzhihe, and Bohr also have no foreign competition to prepare for the time being, or let us wait and see the latest arrangements of the International Table Tennis Federation!
