Officially confirmed! The 18-year-old national table tennis player ranked among the top ten to pursue Zhang Benzhi and Lin Gaoyuan to get good news again
On October 31, Beijing time, the International Table Tennis Federation announced the world rankings for the 44th week of 2023, and the 18-year-old Lin Shidong of national table tennis rose 3 places, ranking among the top ten in the world for the first time in his career, setting a personal record. Japan's Tomokazu Zhangmoto dropped two places and was overtaken by Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan, who rose one place to temporarily No. 6 in the men's singles.
In men's singles, the top three in the world are still Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, and Ma Long. The highest-ranked player in the men's singles is still Hugo Calderano, who is in fourth place, 990 points less than Ma Long in front of him. Zhang Benzhihe fell two places and is currently ranked 7th, which makes Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan move up one place.
Liang Jingkun is temporarily ranked 5th, and Lin Gaoyuan is ranked 6th, for Lin Gaoyuan, the lack of competition opportunities is indeed not easy, but the rise in the ranking is also good news. No. 8 is French teenager Felix Lebrun, No. 9 is South Korean star Jang Yuzhen, and the biggest highlight of this issue is that national table tennis teenager Lin Shidong rose to No. 10 in the world, creating the highest ranking in his career.
For a long time, the national table tennis has always ranked in the top 10 of Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, and Lin Gaoyuan, and now there is finally more Lin Shidong, only 18-year-old Lin Shidong is a new generation of players focused on cultivating by national table tennis, and he does have great potential. After ranking among the top 10 in the world, Lin Shidong's next goal should be to pursue Tomokazu Zhangmoto, and strive to surpass Tomokazu Zhang in terms of personal strength and ranking.
In women's singles, the situation of national table tennis winning the top 5 or even the top 6 has been broken, Hina Hayada has continuously improved her personal ranking and is currently ranked 4th in women's singles, and the top three in the women's singles world are still Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, and Hina Hayada surpassed Wang Yidi, making Wang Yidi fall to 5th. Chen Xingtong, who lacked the opportunity to compete, was surpassed by Qian Tianyi and fell to 7th, Qian Tianyi rose to 6th, and 6 people in the national table tennis ranked in the top 10 of the women's singles, with a huge advantage.
No. 8 in the women's singles is South Korea's Shin Yubin, No. 9 is the German veteran Han Ying, and Ito Misei dropped one place to temporarily rank 10th, her lead has shrunk significantly, not only handing over the position of Japan's first sister, but if she can't do well in the Frankfurt Championship, I am afraid that she will fall out of the top 10 in the world.
As for the three doubles events, there is little change, Fan Zhendong/Wang Chuqin ranks first in men's doubles, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha ranks first in mixed doubles, and the first in women's doubles is still the Korean pair Tian Zhixi/Shin Yubin, the two are 1130 points ahead of Chen Meng/Wang Yidi behind them, and they will hold the women's doubles world No. 1 in a short period of time!
