The 2024 Table Tennis Macau World Cup has come to an end, in addition to the competition between the national table tennis and foreign associations, the competition within itself is also very fierce, in the competition for the singles seat of the Paris Olympics, it is also indirectly competing for the team quota, although the team quota does not win by points ranking, but it must have a greater reference value, the one with the highest ranking must be given priority, and the good record of this World Cup is also a very important reference.
The competition in men's singles has ended, because this World Cup is the last major tournament before May 7, although there is still a Saudi Grand Slam behind, but the game will end on May 11, the game is not over, there is no way to get world ranking points and reward points, and finally Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong ranked the top two and were directly selected for the Paris Olympic singles.
The competition in women's singles continues, not long ago the national table tennis issued new competition rules, first removed Wang Yidi's singles competition, only Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Chen Meng were left, and Chen Xingtong was very far behind in points, it was impossible to catch up, and Sun Yingsha was ahead by a large score, and she was already able to determine a singles seat.
If the national table tennis does not release new competition rules, the women's singles has now ended, and the Saudi Arabian Grand Slam was added in May this year, WTT is the highest level, maybe the national table tennis also wants to continue to investigate Wang Manyu and Chen Meng, the competition between the two is really fierce, and it is really difficult to choose who is on the singles without setting selection points.
Last year, the national table tennis released the selection rules and deadline on May 7, and I didn't know the time of today's Saudi Grand Slam, and even if I knew it later, I still didn't include this Grand Slam event in the men's singles competition, which shows that the candidate is already very clear.
It's a pity for Ma Long, who has already caught up with Fan Zhendong by a large margin through this World Cup, 3,000 points behind, and has every chance to achieve a comeback through a Grand Slam.
Wang Chuqin ranked first with 22425 points
Fan Zhendong 17678 points second
Malone 14535 points third
Liang Jingkun was fourth with 9080 points
Lin Gaoyuan was fifth with 4975 points
Fan Zhendong has been in the leading position since May last year, this year was surpassed by Wang Chuqin, and now he is being chased by Ma Long, Fan Zhendong mainly relies on the points accumulated by last year's excellent and stable performance.
Sun Yingsha ranked first with 27650 points
Wang Manyu was second with 14,865 points
Chen Meng 13310 points third
Wang Yidi 8272 points fourth
Chen Xingtong 5965 points fifth
Sun Yingsha has always been in the first position unshaken, and the score difference has been widening, Chen Meng has been second last year, and Wang Manyu won the Singapore Grand Slam Championship, the runner-up of the Incheon Championship, surpassing Chen Meng in points, plus this championship, it is already 1500 points away from Chen Meng, although Chen Meng has a chance to overtake in the Saudi Grand Slam, but there is a certain degree of difficulty, at least the current pressure on Wang Manyu will be less.
The current Paris Olympic lineup, except for the suspense of one seat in the women's singles, is basically determined, including the team three, Wang Yidi is unlikely to compete for the team, although Liang Jingkun was in good shape before, but Ma Long performed better.
