The International Table Tennis Federation released the latest 2022 19th week of the world rankings, it can be seen that due to the major reform of the ranking system caused by the original basic points have been largely emptied, the position of some players on the list has undergone earth-shaking changes - the national table tennis veteran Xu Xin's men's singles ranking continued to decline compared with the previous period, slipping to 83rd; Xu Xin's mixed doubles partner Liu Shiwen, the women's singles ranking also fell again, to 86th; and the world champion Zhu Yuling, who has been gradually marginalized in recent years, has fallen out of the list. No more world rankings...
The ranking of the men's singles TOP20 players in the latest issue has not changed. Fan Zhendong continued to lead with 6900 points, topping the table, Ma Long 3400 points, Liang Jingkun 2700 points ranked 2nd and 3rd, and ranked 4th to 10th were Hugo, Morego, Jochik, Zhang Benzhihe, Lin Yunru, Ocha and Aruna.
The men's singles players from 11th to 20th are: Bohr, Francesca, Wang Chuqin, Qiu Dang, Carlsson, Carlberg, Pitcheford, Lin Gaoyuan, Omar, Lim Jong-hoon. Japanese men's singles rising star Daiden Shinozo has just won the men's singles title in the WTT Side Usa, jumping 29 places to 59th in the men's singles. Japan's Yukiya Utada moved up one spot to 26th in men's singles.
In terms of other famous players in the mainland, Liu Dingshuo is currently ranked 46th in the men's singles, Zhou Qihao is 55th, Zhao Zihao is 57th, Xiang Peng is 64th, Xue Fei is 76th, Xu Xin is 83rd, and Hainan teenager Lin Shidong is 85th in the men's singles.
The women's singles TOP20 also remained unchanged, with Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi in the top 4, Japan's Hina Hayata and Mimachi Ito in 5th and 6th, Hong Kong's Du Kaixuan in 7th, Germany's Han Ying in 8th, and Diaz and Ishikawa Yoshinori in 9th and 10th.
The women's singles runners 11th to 20th places are: Tian Zhixi, Yang Xiaoxin, Pokalova, Feng Tianwei, Miyu Kihara, Mitterham, Liu Weishan, Matrova, Bruna and Fan Siqi. Chinese Taipei's Chen Siyu rose two places to 28th in women's singles, and Zheng Yijing improved three places to 31st in women's singles.
Japan's Asuka Sasao won the WTT regional event in the United States, earning 150 points, soaring 618 places directly from outside the list to the 92nd position in the women's singles – from this point on, we can intuitively feel the opportunities and changes brought by the update of the world ranking rules to the players.
Mainland star Liu Shiwen has rarely participated in women's singles international competitions in the past two years, and the current effective points are only 175 points obtained in Singapore, and the singles ranking has slipped to 86th. And Zhu Yuling, who also played the main role in the team competition of the World Table Tennis Championships in 2018 and helped the Chinese women's table tennis turn the tide, is gradually marginalized and loses the opportunity to compete, and this issue has fallen out of the women's singles ranking list, which is really regrettable.
The top 20 in men's doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles have not changed from the previous period, and Yukiya Utada/Hayabusa Shanghai, Wang Manyu/Sun Yingsha, Zheng Yijing/Lin Yunru are at the top of the list.
