#[Sun Yingsha is the first!The first world ranking of the Year of the Dragon was announced, and the newcomers fell out of the top ten
On February 13, Beijing time, the International Table Tennis Federation announced the world rankings for the 7th week of 2024, which is also the first ranking of the Year of the Dragon, as a result, Fan Zhendong and Sun Yingsha continued to lead the singles, but the teenager Lin Shidong was squeezed out of the top ten by the German player Qiu Dang, and Ito Misei also regressed to the 14th position in the world, Fan Zhendong/Wang Chuqin, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha continued to top the men's doubles and mixed doubles rankings.
As for the Korean pair of Tian Zhixi/Shin Yubin, they continue to rank first in the world in Women's Doubles, although the advantage is not obvious. Next, everyone will sit and wait for the start of the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, and many famous players may get singles individual points from it, which is worth everyone's attention.
Affected by the upcoming start of the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, other arenas in the table tennis world have been calm recently, and there are naturally no new points in the account without new events, so whether it is national table tennis players or athletes from other associations, the ranking changes mainly come from the disappearance of old points.
As mentioned earlier, the world rankings in the five major events in this issue are still held by Chinese and South Korean players, among which the singles leaders are Fan Zhendong and Sun Yingsha, but the gap between the former and the second place Wang Chuqin is not large, and the latter is clearly ahead of the second place Wang Yidi and the athletes further behind, which can also reflect the gap between the two in the singles field.
The top 10 players in the latest singles world rankings are: Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan, Felix Lebrun, Hugo, Lin Yunru, Zhang Benzhihe, Qiu Dang, as well as Sun Yingsha, Wang Yidi, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, Hina Hayata, Chen Xingtong, Qian Tianyi, Shen Yubin, Han Ying, Zheng Yijing.
Lin Shidong and Ito Misei did not get replenished in time after the old points were emptied because of the decline in their performance or the number of competitions in the past year, and they both fell out of the top ten in the singles world in this issue.
In doubles, there are usually few games with more points, and the masters of the games with fewer points rarely participate, so the positions of the top combinations are usually relatively stable, among which Fan Zhendong/Wang Chuqin, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha, Tian Zhixi/Shen Yubin have been in first place for a long time, and the World Table Tennis Championships does not have doubles, so it will not provide new points.
Since this year is the Olympic year, the world ranking will have a greater impact on everyone's draw grouping, so let's wish the national table tennis athletes all good results in Busan: Come on, everyone!
