In the new badminton world ranking list released on May 7, Chinese players Leung Wei Keng/Wang Chang broke through the 100,000 point mark for the first time, becoming the first men's doubles pair to achieve this achievement, and the Chinese badminton team became the second national team after the Japanese team to exceed the 100,000 mark in the world rankings in all five individual events.
Leung Wai Keng/Wang Chang's latest world ranking reached 102398 points, which is the first time that the two have surpassed 100,000 points since their cooperation, and this achievement is due to the high points of 10,848 points obtained by the "Liang Wang" combination in the Chengdu Tangyou Cup that ended two days ago, replacing the 7,299 points of the upcoming 2023 Sudirman Cup, a net increase of 3,549 points, and their world ranking points have increased from 98,849 points in the previous period to 102398 points, writing a new glory in their sports careers.
It is worth mentioning that in the third ranking list of this year announced on January 16 this year, Leung Wai Keng/Wang Chang's world ranking score rose to 99,649 points, only 351 points away from the 100,000-point mark. After several efforts, the "Liang Wang" duo finally rushed to the top of the men's doubles ranking again on April 16, and seized the opportunity of the Thomas Cup to successfully cross the 100,000 level.
Why did the "Liang Wang" group seize the opportunity of the Thomas Cup? A week ago, the world ranking score of the "Liang Wang" combination reached 98,849 points, with an average of nearly 10,000 points per stop, plus 1% of the world ranking points of all the combinations they had defeated during the Tang Cup, so that Liang Weihang/Wang Chang obtained a high score of 10,848 points in the Chengdu Tangyou Cup. This is 3,549 points higher than the team points achieved at the Sudirman Cup a year ago.
The first badminton player to break the 100,000-point mark in the world rankings is the women's doubles pair Yu Yang/Wang Xiaoli, who achieved this success on 18 August 2011. Since then, Li Xuerui, Zhang Nan/Zhao Yunlei, Chen Long, Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong, Wang Yilu/Huang Dongping, Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan, Chen Yufei have completed this miracle, and now Liang Weihang/Wang Chang has climbed the 100,000-point step, so the national feather has conquered the 100,000-point mark in 5 individual events.
The foreign association players who have exceeded the 100,000-point mark in the world rankings are: Lee Chong Wei, Kento Momota and Axelsen in men's singles, Tai Tzu Ying, Akane Yamaguchi and An Seying in women's singles, Fernando Gideon/Sukamuyo, Setiawan/Ahsan, Wang Qilin/Li Yang, Takuro Hoki/Yugo Kobayashi, Rankireddy/Shetty in women's doubles, Yuki Fukushima/Sayaka Hirota, Kim Shaoying/Kong Hee-yong, Lee So Hee/Shin Seung Chan, Ha Ha Baek/Lee So Hee in mixed doubles, and Dechapol/Sasiri Watanabe/Arisa Higashino in mixed doubles.
