The Saudi Arabia Grand Slam has come to an end, and the national table tennis won the hardware to the end, reflecting the super strength of the king's division. However, after Saudi Arabia, the world ranking of men's table tennis has changed greatly. Among them, Wang Chuqin won the men's singles championship and ranked first in the world, leading with 7725 points. After the game, Wang Chuqin said: The triple crown makes him more motivated to face Paris and not afraid of Paris! It is indeed mighty and domineering!
Ma Long won the singles championship of the Macau World Cup not long ago, and this time the Saudi Arabian horse dragon lost 0-3 to Zhang Yuzhen, but also gained some points, and the world ranking points of the Dragon team (4110 points) will surpass Fan Zhendong and return to the second place in the world!
Liang Jingkun was out of the second round of the Saudi Arabia Championship, but the previous Incheon Championship had the last laugh, and the big fat world ranking reached a new high, rising to third with 3685 points.
Fan Zhendong has been in a slump recently, and has not won the singles championship for more than half a year, coupled with the fact that he has spent a lot of money on his previous foundation (ranking points have expired), his world ranking has dropped to fourth with 3403 points. I have to say that Fan Zhendong's downturn is indeed a bit long, and once upon a time he monopolized the world's No. 1 throne.
But with the rapid growth of Wang Chuqin, Fan Zhendong's position has been challenged, and he always feels that the current Fan Zhendong's ball skills are in a chaotic period, strong backhands are no longer common, there are too many short controls, and the heart is obviously insufficient. In addition, judging from the actual situation, Fan Zhendong has been disturbed by a lot of outside world, and his whole person has also been affected, from the moldy concert to the leakage of ID card and other information, Fan Zhendong has been haunted by negative news, which is extremely detrimental to his growth, I expect Fan Zhendong to put aside distractions and focus on the little white ball.
In other rankings, Lin Shidong, who advanced to the semi-finals in Saudi Arabia, soared to 10th place (1880 points), Lin Shidong has grown rapidly, and after the match, Wang Chuqin praised his technique as the most advanced and can beat any opponent. Germany's big dark horse Francesca's world ranking has soared even more rocketically, squeezing into the top ten for the first time in his career with 2540 points, far surpassing his teammates (Qiu Dang, Ocharov, Bol), the above three are the Olympic lineup of the German team, which is really strange: Francesca actually only won the P card!
France's Felix Lebrun is still fifth with 3,377 points, Lin Yunru is sixth with 2,886 points, Lin Gaoyuan is seventh with 2,715 points, and Hugo is eighth with 2,635.
