The ITTF 52nd week rankings were announced on December 26, and Fan Zhendong and Sun Yingsha successfully won the first place in the men's and women's singles year-end rankings. Fan Zhendong is firmly at the top of the men's singles rankings with 6,544 points, while Sun Yingsha is the current superstar of women's table tennis with 8,550 points ahead of other players. Although the national table tennis has some regrets in women's doubles and mixed doubles, the task of competition in 2023 is over, and we look forward to their continued success in 2024.
Fan Zhendong has been ranked first in the ITTF year-end for four consecutive years, with a score of 6,544 points, beating Wang Chuqin. For Wang Chuqin, this is a regrettable ending. This year, he once pulled Fan Zhendong off the horse and became the world No. 1 in men's singles for the first time. The reason is that within the statistical range of last year's world ranking cycle, Fan Zhendong missed consecutive games, while Wang Chuqin performed well. However, in the later period, Fan Zhendong returned to the No. 1 position in men's singles again, and won the No. 1 in the ITTF year-end for four consecutive years, showing his dominance and stability.
Sun Yingsha led other players with a high score of 8550 points and became the big devil of women's table tennis today. Her outstanding performances and consistent performance have made her unrivalled on the international stage. Sun Yingsha's year-end first position is not only an affirmation of her personal strength, but also a reflection of the strong strength of Chinese women's table tennis.
Although the national table tennis team did not achieve the desired results in the Women's Doubles and Mixed Doubles, we had high expectations for their performance. Now that the 2023 competition is over, it's time to make new plans for the upcoming 2024 in order to continue to achieve great results in all competitions.
In short, Fan Zhendong and Sun Yingsha's re-election to the first place in the ITTF year-end is an affirmation of their personal strength and efforts. Their performance not only represents themselves, but also represents the strength and tradition of Chinese table tennis, bringing us pride and pride. We look forward to their continued brilliant achievements in future competitions and contribute more honors to the development of Chinese table tennis!
