On September 6, Beijing time, the International Table Tennis Federation announced the world ranking list for the 36th week of 2022, which is regrettable that the two olympic champions of the national table tennis, Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen, continued to decline, respectively, to the 95th position in the men's singles and the 103rd position in the women's singles, while Zhou Qihao and Chen Xingtong, who won the WTT Bulgaria Tournament not long ago, improved to the 39th and 20th places respectively.
Since most of the higher-ranked athletes have recently been in the truce, so there is little change, Chinese and Japanese athletes continue to win 5 first places, Fan Zhendong and Sun Yingsha won the first place in men's and women's singles, see below for details.
Last week' most important event in the international table tennis world was the WTT Bulgarian Tournament, the Chinese team had a total of 20 athletes to participate, the result was gratifying, won 4 crowns and 3 sub-championships, especially the men's singles summit was to sweep away the haze of the recent continuous total annihilation, and Zhou Qihao, who has always been ridiculed by fans as "civil war insider, foreign war layman", also re-proved himself and won the men's singles championship.
Recently, Zhou Qihao participated in many international competitions, so the world ranking has been improving, and the summit in the Balkans has also brought his ranking to the 39th position in the world, but unfortunately he has lost the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships: it is too late to make the effort!
As for Chen Xingtong's words, although he has the title of world champion, but the number of international competitions he participated in this year is small, and the record is not outstanding, so the ranking has not entered the top five of the national table tennis women's team, surpassed by Ku Man and others, and now he has finally begun to fight back step by step for the camp, and re-ranked in the top twenty of the women's singles world rankings, but it is still far from the four main forces, and it still needs to work hard!
At present, the top ten athletes in the women's singles ranking are still Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, Ito Mimachi, Hayata Xina, Du Kaixuan, Han Ying, Ishikawa Jiajun, Polkanova, Liu Shiwen has dropped another place, zhu Yuling has not returned.
As for the top ten men's singles world rankings, there is still Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, Zhang Benzhihe, Hugo, Moregaode, Lin Yunru, Dako, Qiu Dang, Ochalov, but Dakoto is about to participate in the WTT Oman tournament, may be able to improve, and Xu Xin has dropped 2 places, and is currently 95th in the men's singles.
In doubles, Sun Yingsha / Wang Manyu continues to rank first in women's doubles, Lin Yunru / Zheng Yijing won the first place in mixed doubles, Yukiya Utada / Hayabusa Toue ranked first in men's doubles, there is no change, if there is no accident, it will remain for more than a month, waiting for the latest competition schedule after the end of the team world table tennis championships.
