On January 2, 2024, the BWF announced the rankings for the first week of the new year, and the overall ranking of Chinese players has not changed much.
Because it is the opening year of the Paris Olympic year, the ranking actually has a certain symbolic meaning. From next week, the Paris Olympic points tournament will start again, the first of which is the exciting high-point Malaysia Open. It is hoped that the Chinese players will be able to maintain this ranking after the Olympic points competition.
#2018年4月25日, A Remaining #A ...... Glory Hour lasts for the first 300 weeks
The reason why the women's singles are put in front this time is because in the first BWF rankings, Chen Yufei continues to be ranked second in the women's singles, which is a remarkable record, this is Chen Yufei's 300th week in the top 10 in the world, which is enough to reach a milestone moment. This also fully illustrates the stability of Chen Yufei's state. Although there is a strong opponent in front of An Xiying, Chen Yufei is still admirable.
The Chinese women's singles still has a certain group advantage, at least among the top 20, He Bingjiao ranks 6th, Han Yue ranks 8th, and Wang Zhiyi ranks 10th. Zhang Yiman is 17th, and Gao Fangjie is 33rd.
In the Olympic points rankings, He Bingjiao ranked 6th and Han Yue ranked 7th. It is estimated that the Paris qualification is still one of the two participants. Last year's He Bingjiao's performance was very unstable, and I hope to have a good performance this year and form a good competitive relationship with Han Yue.
Men's singles Li Shifeng and Shi Yuqi are firmly in the top eight
In men's singles, Li Shifeng ranked 3rd and Shi Yuqi ranked 6th. Weng Hongyang 18, Lu Guangzu 19. If nothing else, it will be Li Shifeng and Shi Yuqi who will participate in the Paris Olympics. It is too difficult for the men's singles to chase points, and Weng Hongyang has a long way to go into the top eight. The chances of getting to Paris are not very good.
The Paris Olympics points are Shi Yuqi in the top, ranking papermakers, and Li Shifeng ranking 4th.
Men's Doubles Leung Wai Keng/Wang Chang topped the list, while Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi was eighth
In Men's Doubles, which has always been the most competitive, Leung Wai Hang/Wang Chang remain ranked No. 1, while Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi remain No. 8. They are followed by Indonesia's former world No. 1 pair and Tokyo Olympic champions Li Yang/Wang Chi-lin of Chinese Taipei.
In the Olympic rankings, Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi, who aim to participate in the Olympic Games, are still ranked 7th in the Olympic points ranking in the first week of 2024, which is not much different from the Indian twin towers in 5th place, the Japanese nanny in 6th place and Indonesian Shuanga in 8th place. If you play a good points game, you may jump up, or you may be replaced.
In the top 8, only one association in China is currently two pairs temporarily full. And the strong Indonesia is second in 8th place.
No. 9 is Chinese Taipei's Li Yang Wang Qi Lin, and No. 10 Indonesia's Scud pair. Basically, it can be said that the latter three pairs are Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi's competitors.
Among the other Chinese men's doubles, He Jiting/Zhou Haodong No. 15, Ren Xiangyu/Tan Qiang No. 21, Chen Baiyang/Liu Yi 27, and the front court duo of He Jiting/Ren Xiangyu 32, it looks like they have been abandoned to Tan Qiang/Zhou Haodong No. 83, who did not have a chance to participate in the whole month of January, and they have a long way to go to the tournament compared to any other.
Women's Doubles Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan continue to rank first
In the women's doubles, which also has a certain group advantage, Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan ranked first, Zhang Shuxian/Zheng Yu ranked 7th, and Liu Shengshu/Tan Ning, who participated in the finals, ranked 8th.
In the Olympic points rankings, Liu Shengshu/Tan Ning ranked 8th, and Zhang Shuxian/Zheng Yu ranked 9th. If these two pairs can remain in the top eight, one pair will represent China and Fan Chen in the women's doubles at the Olympics.
Mixed doubles is still strong and IELTS is number one
In Mixed Doubles, Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong remain ranked No. 1, Feng Yanzhe/Huang Dongping are ranked No. 4, and Jiang Zhenbang/Wei Yaxin are close behind at No. 5. The mixed doubles quota at the Olympics is not a problem. Basically, the relatively stable Feng Huang combination and the IELTS combination that has always been the first are the most possible.
In the Olympic points rankings, Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong continued to rank first, Feng Yanzhe/Huang Dongping ranked second, and reserve Jiang Zhenbang/Wei Yaxin ranked seventh.
