Points, points, are the lifeblood of students, similarly, points are also the lifeblood of professional table tennis players ~ because: points determine the world ranking, and the world ranking directly affects the future of professional players.
No one jokes about their future.
So:
For professional players, the world ranking is very important and highly valued by players.
After the end of this WTT championship, the latest ITTF world ranking came out again.
In terms of women's table tennis: Because it involves the subsequent WTT World Cup final places, here, we list the "top 18 women's table tennis world rankings" as follows:
1st place: Sun Yingsha 6770 points;
2nd place: Chen Meng 5665 points;
3rd place: Wang Manyu 4725 points;
4th place: Wang Yidi 4395 points;
No. 5: Mihiro Ito 3150 min.;
6th place: Hina Wasada 3005 points;
7th place: Chen Xingtong 2000 points;
8th person: Yoshio Ishikawa 1695 min.;
9th place: Du Kaixian 1670 points;
10th place: Han Ying 1585 points;
11th: Polkanova (Austria) 1465 points;
12th place: Diaz 1355 points;
13th: Yang Xiaoxin (Monaco) 1355 points;
14th name: Miyu Kihara 1310 min.;
15th: Mitterheim (Germany) 1290 points;
16th: Tian Zhixi 1245 points;
17th: Yuan Jianan (France) 1170 points;
18th place: Fu Yu (Portugal) 1135 points.
As can be seen from the above rankings:
In the top four, in addition to Sun Yingsha, who just won the championship, scored 1000 points, and let himself ride to the dust, the other three: Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, and Wang Yidi, have not changed much ~ The world's top four are still firmly occupied by us, so I won't talk about it.
Here, we focus on three players who "affect the current pattern and change the ranking greatly":
1. Chen Xingtong broke into the world's top 10 and rose to 7th place.
Recently, Chen Xingtong has been in good shape.
After winning back-to-back "regional and regular season titles" in the front, he climbed his world ranking and broke into the second tier.
And this championship game was unstoppable, and she won the wild card, and she lived up to the expectations of the coaching staff.
In the competition:
She defeated Diaz 3:0, Shiki Tian 3:0, Wang Yidi 3:0, and Mimako Ito 4:1 ~ reached the final and won the runner-up in a hot state of "4 consecutive wins and only 1 game", which is also really amazing.
This also shows:
Anyone needs to accumulate.
After the baptism of years, the 25-year-old Chen Xingtong has now become very mature in all aspects: the technology is thicker, the play is more stable, the mentality is more mature, and his career has reached a new height ~ it is about to reach the "harvest period".
With the outstanding performance of this championship, Chen Xingtong's world ranking has also risen from the original 13th place, to the top 10 in the world, to 7th, and entered the "first echelon".
For Chen Xingtong: This is a very meaningful leap.
The world's "top 10" and "top 20" are two completely different concepts, with very different treatment and different status~ This shows that you have entered the ranks of "first-class masters".
So:
Chen Xingtong's ranking improvement is a big highlight.
Second, Mimako Ito surpassed Hina Hayata, and then became the first sister of Nichi Ping.
Professional players are competitive and competitive, and it is the norm for you to chase me and compete with each other~ Without this "ruthlessness", you can't play well.
Like:
Between Mimako Ito and Hina Hayata, the competition for the status of "Sister of Japanese Pingping" is quite fierce.
The two of them, in the two positions of the world's "5th and 6th", have been competing for a long time ~ the two surpassed each other, repeatedly competed, and made the throne of "Japanese Table Tennis First Sister" change hands many times:
This month you are the 5th, next month I am the 5th, and next month I will fight back... Competition has reached a fever pitch.
Like this time:
Hina Wasada had just surpassed Ito for less than one month, but because she did not participate this time, the "Ichisa Throne" was "fiercely" retaken by Ito.
Moreover, Hayada did not participate in the subsequent WTT World Cup final, so it will be pulled by Ito more and more, and it will be difficult to catch up.
Seemingly:
Hina Hayada has not yet "the life of being a sister", Mimako Ito's position in Japanese table tennis is still unbreakable, and she is tenacious and persistent, she can be called the "strongest sister" in the history of Japanese women's table tennis.
It is with her that wonderful stories will continue to be staged between Chinese and Japanese female table tennis, and widely spread ~ This point, other Japanese female table tennis players cannot do it for the time being.
Third, Yuan Jianan soared to 17th place and took the "last train" to the WTT World Cup final.
In this championship, France's 37-year-old veteran Yuan Jianan is the biggest dark horse and the biggest highlight.
She was not favored before the competition, but she suddenly rose to prominence in this championship match, unexpectedly winning three famous players in a row and reaching the historic final four, which is really a little unexpected.
In the world women's table tennis, there has not been such a "colorful" "big dark horse" for a long time.
Moreover, looking at her posture, in the semifinals, if she did not meet the world's top "foreign war nemesis" Sun Yingsha, maybe she could go further.
So:
Yuan Jianan's performance this time is really amazing, and her unique "high throw + fierce shooting" fighting skill in the world has also been widely concerned and has become the focus of heated discussions.
Moreover, later, it may be imitated by some people and set off a wave of "high-level" fighting.
You see:
Yuan Jianan's performance this time is very windy, right? All of a sudden, he increased his influence and began to have a "star flavor"~ And this is the goal that professional players pursue~ As long as there is a name, there is everything.
In this way, with the amazing performance of this competition, Yuan Jianan's world ranking soared to 17th.
And she, the 17th place, came at the right time and can be called "worth thousands of gold".
Why?
Because:
With this new ranking, she and veteran Fu Yu took the last "last train" of the "Xinxiang WTT World Cup Finals" ~ In the top 16, due to the absence of "Hina Hayada and Polkanova", they just made up for it.
You see it by coincidence:
Originally, Yuan Jianan was 17th, and the World Cup final happened to be stuck to 16th, she was unable to participate, and it just so happened that someone in front of her was absent, and she just made up for it~ So: this new ranking is really timely.
WTT World Cup finals, higher level, better treatment, stronger competition, this time, see if Yuan Jianan, the dark horse, can continue to be powerful?
In this way, the championship is over, and the WTT World Cup final will begin again, this time the ups and downs of the game not only make the world ranking change, but also make the subsequent matches full of more highlights.
Go Chinese women's table tennis!
