On May 14, Beijing time, the International Table Tennis Federation officially announced the world ranking list for the 20th week of 2024. Affected by the results of the WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam that ended not long ago, the national table tennis women's singles champion Chen Meng overtook teammates Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi and returned to the second place, while Francesca, the German dark horse and men's singles runner-up, advanced to the top ten and became the ninth in the latest list.

At present, Wang Chuqin, Wang Chuqin/Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha continue to be ranked first in men's singles, men's doubles and mixed doubles, Sun Yingsha continues to be ranked first in women's singles, and South Korea's Tian Zhixi/Shin Yubin are still firmly in the first place in women's doubles.

The WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam is one of the most points tournaments in table tennis, with the winning athlete scoring 2,000 points, but the men's singles champion Wang Chuqin was originally ranked at the top of the list, so there was no way to advance; Women's singles Chen Meng achieved the goal of winning the championship, rebounding in the world rankings, and locking in the Olympic singles qualification at one time.

As for the men's singles runner-up Francesca, she also gained a lot, after scoring 1400 points, she became the latest highest-ranked person in the German team, but it is embarrassing that he has not been selected for the Paris Olympics submitted by the German Table Tennis Association not long ago, which is regrettable.

The latest men's singles world top 10 players are: Wang Chuqin, Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, Felix Lebrun, Lin Gaoyuan, Lin Yunru, Hugo, Francesca, Zhang Benzhihe. Lin Shidong, a 19-year-old national table tennis player who won the third place in the men's singles in the battle for Saudi Arabia, has risen to the eleventh position and is expected to return to the top ten in the future.

The latest top 10 players in the women's singles world rankings are: Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, Hina Hayata, Chen Xingtong, Shin Yubin, Miwa Zhangmoto, Mimato Ito, Szokos - in addition to Chen Meng, Mimato Ito has also risen one place.

Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha, who are ranked No. 1 in the mixed doubles in a row, won the WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam again and naturally continued to top the rankings; Although Men's Doubles Wang Chuqin/Fan Zhendong have not cooperated recently, they have won more points in the past, so they are still ranked first; Although the Women's Doubles Tian Zhixi/Shin Yubin lost to Chen Meng/Wang Manyu, the latter two have not been paired well in recent years, so they have not been able to shake the status of the Korean pair.

According to the arrangement, there is only one low-level WTT feeder tournament in the 21st week, which will have little impact on the world rankings, so let's wait for the WTT Rio regular season and Taiyuan regular season in the 22nd week to kick off!
