On December 19, the International Table Tennis Federation announced the world rankings for the 51st week of 2023, mainly due to the ranking changes brought about by the women's finals, and Wang Yidi ranked second in the world.
If Wang Yidi can maintain the second place in the world, in the team competition of the World Table Tennis Championships next year, if the national table tennis meets the Japanese team, Wang Yidi vs. Hina Hayada will be a good show.
Sun Yingsha is the world's No. 1
After Sun Yingsha won the championship, she continued to consolidate her advantage as the world No. 1 in women's singles, with a score of 8,550 points. At present, she has 8 valid points, 7 championships, and 1 semi-final.
In the Doha Star Challenge in January next year, Sun Yingsha will attack the championship for the second time with all 8 valid points.
Wang Yidi is second in the world
Wang Yidi's women's singles runner-up allowed her to rise two places to rank second in the world with 4,505 points.
Behind him, Wang Manyu was third with 4137 points and fourth with A3995 points.
Hina Hayada is fifth, Chen Xingtong is sixth, Qian Tianyi is seventh, Han Ying is eighth, Shin Yubin is ninth, and Yingrao is tenth.
Diaz 11, Szokos 12, Zhang Rui 13, Yang Xiaoxin 14, Zhang Benmeihe 15, Zhu Qianxi 16, Hirano Miyu 17, Zheng Yijing 18, Kuo Man 19, Fan Siqi 20.
Wang Yidi vs. Hina Hayata?
In February next year, the World Table Tennis Championships team competition will be held in South Korea.
If according to the current world rankings, if the national table tennis meets the Japanese team, and Wang Yidi plays the second single, he will face the Japanese team's first single, Hina Hayata, which is definitely the focus of the battle.
However, whether the national table tennis coaching staff dares to take this risk will be seen when the time comes.
