The latest world rankings are announced! Liang Jingkun won the championship and was happy, and Chen Xingtong once again surpassed Qian Tianyi
On November 14, Beijing time, the International Table Tennis Federation announced the world ranking list for the 46th week of 2023, and Liang Jingkun, who won the championship at the WTT Taiyuan Tournament last week, was double happy, rebounding in the ranking and helping the national table tennis team win the top four men's singles, while the Japanese player Hayasuke Togami, who won the silver medal of the national table tennis player, advanced to the top 30 and is currently ranked 27th.
The 18-year-old national table tennis player Lin Shidong returned to the top ten in the men's singles world rankings, but he lost the foreign war, and the loss may be greater than the gain, and he still needs to work hard! As for the top four in the women's singles, the national table tennis was also swept by the national table tennis, and Chen Xingtong rebounded and surpassed Qian Tianyi to the sixth place.
See below for more details.
WTT Taiyuan national table tennis players Fan Zhendong and Ma Long were absent, Chen Meng withdrew, Sun Yingsha gave up singles, and many masters of the foreign association such as Lin Yunru, Zhang Ben Tomokazu, Hayada Hina, Ito Misei, Hirano Miyu, Zhang Benmeihe, Shen Yubin and others were also absent, so their points will naturally not increase.
Among the participating athletes, Wang Chuqin, Lee Sang-su, Lim Jong-hoon and other famous players also went out early, and they did not gain much, and the players who finally advanced to the semi-finals of singles naturally became big winners, but everyone's situation is also different.
In men's singles, champion Liang Jingkun, runner-up Hayasuke Togami, third runner-up Lin Gaoyuan and Lin Shidong have all improved, among which Hayasuke Togami has the worst foundation, so the new points have also changed his ranking the most, from 31st to 24th, as for the other three are all further forward, Liang Jingkun has become 4th, Lin Gaoyuan has become 7th, and Lin Shidong has returned to 10th.
The order of the top ten players in the new men's singles world is: Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, Hugo, Lin Yunru, Lin Gaoyuan, Felix, Zhang Benzhihe, Lin Shidong - congratulations to the Chinese team for winning the top four!
However, as mentioned earlier, Lin Shidong and others unfortunately lost the foreign war in the Taiyuan competition and lost to Hayasuke Togami, which hurt morale. Because for the national table tennis coaching staff, no matter how high the ranking of his disciples is, it is difficult to be trusted if they can't withstand the pressure in foreign wars, so compared to returning to the top ten in the world rankings, Lin Shidong is now more worried than happy.
In women's singles, the champion of the Taiyuan competition and the runner-up Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi remained second and third, and there was still a big gap from the first Sun Yingsha, Chen Xingtong successfully overtook Qian Tianyi and became the fifth person in the national table tennis women's singles again, but the world ranking is still not as good as Hina Hayata.
The latest top ten women's singles lists are: Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, Chen Meng, Hina Hayata, Chen Xingtong, Qian Tianyi, Shen Yubin, Misei Ito, Han Ying. In Taiyuan, the third-place youngster Kuo Man still maintained 19th place, while Monaco's Yang Xiaoxin, who defeated Chen Xingtong, surpassed Zhang Benmeihe and rose to 13th.
As for the world No. 1 in the three doubles, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha, Fan Zhendong/Wang Chuqin, Tian Zhixi/Shen Yubin, let's sit back and wait for the new international competition to begin!
