On September 6, Beijing time, the World Ranking of the International Table Tennis Federation in the 36th week of 2022 was released. Since high-ranking athletes have been in a truce lately, their world rankings haven't changed much. In the men's singles, national table tennis players Fan Zhendong, Ma Long and Liang Jingkun continued to occupy the top three, and Zhang Benzhihe, Hugo, Moregaode, Lin Yunru, Dako, Qiu Dang and Ochalov ranked 4-10th.
The rankings of Wang Chuqin and Lin Gaoyuan have not changed, and they are still in the 11th and 12th places. In the World Table Tennis Championships trials held by the national table tennis last weekend, Lin Gaoyuan won the men's singles championship, and he will go to Chengdu with Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin.
After reaching the top 4 of last week's WTT Czech Line, Zhou Qihao won the men's singles championship of the WTT Bulgarian Branch Tournament this time, and the ranking improved by 11 places again to 39th; Runner-up Zhou Kai soared 399th to 123rd; Cao Wei, who reached the top 4, rose 128 places to temporarily rank 158th.
The top ten women's singles have not changed, with the four golden flowers of national table tennis Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi continuing to dominate the top four, followed by Japan's Ito Mimachi and Hayata Hina, who ranked 5th and 6th. Du Kaixuan, Han Ying, Ishikawa Yoshijun and Polkanova are temporarily ranked 7-10th. Last week, Chen Xingtong was won
The women's singles also held a selection competition, and finally Ku Man won the championship, but whether Ku Man can participate depends on Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi, if they fail to win the WTT Oman Regular Season Challenge Women's Singles Championship, Ku Man will become the "fifth person" of the Women's Team of the World Table Tennis Championships and start her Journey to the World Table Tennis Championships.
Chen Xingtong has just won the women's singles title in the WTT Bulgarian Regional Championship, and the world ranking has risen 13 places to 20th. Qian Tianyi, who stopped in the semi-finals, only rose 2 places to temporarily rank 48th. Liu Shiwen and Xu Xin, the two veterans, continued to decline in the rankings, 103rd and 95th respectively, and the two of them should no longer value the world ranking at the moment.
There was no change in the doubles, with the women's doubles sun Yingsha/Wang Manyu continuing to be in first place, the men's doubles Japanese duo of Yukiya Utada/Hayabusa Toue first, and the mixed doubles Chinese Taipei duo of Lin Yunru/Zheng Yijing first. As things stand, the ranking should not change in a short period of time.
The original WTT Oman regular season challenge that started yesterday finally started today, the reason for the postponement is that the Omani capital Muscat just happened to be blackout yesterday, so the athletes can only rest first, re-plan the schedule, the new schedule has been announced, some national table tennis players will appear today, looking forward to their performance!
