On May 14, 2024, the ITTF updated its world standings for the 20th week of the year, the most important change before the Paris Olympics. Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha are ranked first in the men's and women's world rankings respectively. Chen Meng won the WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam and moved to No. 2 in the rankings, which also indicates that Chen Meng qualified for the women's singles competition at the Paris Olympics. Teenager Lin Shidong had a surprise.
The specific rankings are:
In men's singles, Wang Chuqin topped the list with 8,625 points, Fan Zhendong ranked second with 5,228 points, and Ma Long Ma Long ranked third with 4,685 points.

Wang Chuqin won the men's singles championship at the WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, and his points have further improved, and he is now more than 3,000 points ahead of Fan Zhendong, who is ranked second. Fan Zhendong's points are declining further. Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong have qualified for the men's singles at the Paris Olympics, and in the current situation, Wang Chuqin's state is in its heyday, while Fan Zhendong's state is worrying.
With the victory of the World Cup, the veteran Ma Long has stabilized in third place in points, and there should be no problem in qualifying for the Paris Olympics team participation. The most regrettable thing is that Liang Jingkun has almost lost his Olympic qualification due to his poor performance in the World Cup and the WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam.
Women's singles: Sun Yingsha ranked first with 9,200 points, Chen Meng ranked second with 6,410 points, and Wang Manyu ranked third with 5,965 points.

Although Sun Yingsha failed to win the WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, Sun Yingsha is still far ahead of the standings with her excellent record in the past.
Chen Meng's form has improved significantly this year, especially in the WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, where she won the women's singles title. And Chen Meng also relied on this championship to successfully surpass Wang Manyu in points and came to second place. According to the provisions of the Olympic selection rules of the national table tennis women's team. Chen Meng will qualify for the women's singles at the Paris Olympics.
It's a pity that Wang Manyu, although in the previous game, Wang Manyu's performance and condition were very good. However, in the most important match before the start of the Paris Olympics, Wang Manyu played seriously abnormally, and was blocked from the round of 16 by the Indian player at the WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam. Wang Manyu also lost the qualification for the Olympic women's singles.
In this list, it is worth mentioning that the Chinese teenager Lin Shidong is currently ranked 11th in points. Lin Shidong has been in very good form recently, and eliminated Fan Zhendong, the first brother of national table tennis at the time, at the WTT Singapore Grand Slam; lost in five games with Fan Zhendong in the World Cup; At the WTT Grand Slam in Saudi Arabia, he caused a lot of trouble for Wang Chuqin. According to this development trend, Lin Shidong is just around the corner to enter the world's top 10.
At present, the national table tennis is going all out to prepare for the Paris Olympics, let us cheer for the Chinese table tennis team together!
