ITTF World Rankings: Hina Hayada squeezed out Wang Yidi, Qian Tianyi rose, and Lin Shidong entered the top ten
On October 31, Beijing time, the ITTF 2023 44th week world ranking list was announced, some people were happy and some were worried, national table tennis Fan Zhendong, Sun Yingsha, Fan Zhendong/Wang Chuqin, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha and South Korea's Tian Zhixi/Shin Yubin are still ranked first, but the order has changed, among which Japan's Hina Hayada hit a new high, surpassing Wang Yidi to become the fourth place in women's singles.
In addition, the national table tennis star Qian Tianyi will surpass Chen Xingtong, one of the five main forces, ranked sixth, Japan's Tomokazu Zhang fell to seventh, Ito Misei regressed to tenth, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan, Felix rose, 18-year-old national table tennis player Lin Shidong ranked among the top ten for the first time, congratulations! See below for more details.
There was no major event in the international table tennis world last week, but due to the invalidation of the points in the 2022 WTT World Cup finals, many players were affected, but Hina Hayada "survived" because she did not participate in that tournament, and there was no loss, plus she recently won the women's singles championships in WTT Oman and Turkey in a row, so the ranking has risen.
In last week's list, Hina Hayada has surpassed Chen Xingtong, the main force of national table tennis, to the fifth position in the women's singles, and now she continues to rise to fourth place after Wang Yidi lost the WTT World Cup final points, setting a new personal record. Interestingly, Hina Hayada also "double-killed" Wang Yidi at the World Table Tennis Championships and Asian Games this year, and the two are really close to each other!
The top 10 athletes in the women's singles world rankings are: Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, Hina Hayata, Wang Yidi, Qian Tianyi, Chen Xingtong, Shen Yubin, Han Ying, and Misei Ito. Among them, the decline of Chen Xingtong and Misei Ito and the rise of Qian Tianyi and Han Ying were also affected by the WTT World Cup finals, so I will not repeat them here.
In men's singles, Liang Jingkun returned to the top five, Lin Gaoyuan followed, Zhang Benzhihe slipped to seventh, but at least it was still in the top ten, Ocharov fell from eighth to thirteenth, Lin Yunru fell from tenth to twelfth, but Felix rose to eighth, Zhang Yuzhen reached ninth, and Lin Shidong officially ranked tenth with a series of excellent performances this year, congratulations!
The top ten players in the latest men's singles world rankings are: Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Ma Long, Hugo, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan, Zhang Benzhihe, Felix, Zhang Yuzhen, Lin Shidong - four of the ten post-00s (Wang Chuqin, Zhang Benzhihe, Felix, Lin Shidong), the speed of the world's men's table tennis is gradually catching up with the pace of women's table tennis.
In doubles, the world rankings have not changed very quickly, with Fan Zhendong/Wang Chuqin and Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha continuing to hold the top spot in men's doubles and mixed doubles, while Tian Zhixi/Shin Yubin's women's doubles number one is also very strong. The WTT Championship is currently underway in Frankfurt, Germany, and there may be a major change in the rankings after this event, so let's wait and see what happens!
