On May 14, the International Table Tennis Federation announced the latest world rankings, Sun Yingsha took the lead and ranked first in the world, Chen Meng won the WTT Saudi Grand Slam, and the world ranking rose from the original 4th to 2nd, and Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi's world rankings fell 1 place compared with the previous period.
Chen Meng's world ranking and Olympic points surpassed Wang Manyu in all aspects, and he was basically confirmed to qualify for the singles of the Paris Olympics, only the official announcement was missing! Although Wang Manyu lost the competition with Chen Meng and missed the singles qualification for the Paris Olympics, there is basically no problem with the team participating in the Paris Olympics.
Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng qualified for the singles of the Paris Olympics, and Wang Manyu will most likely be selected with a P card or a team qualification! Perhaps for Wang Manyu, it is not the best choice to participate in the Paris Olympics in this way, but there is no way to do it, after all, the rules are like this. If Wang Manyu hadn't lost in the match with Batra, maybe it would have been Wang Manyu who had qualified for the Paris Olympics in singles!
It is worth mentioning that Batra, who defeated Wang Manyu in the second round of the WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam Women's Singles, also ushered in a highlight moment, rising 15 places in the world rankings, from the original 39th to 24th, setting a new career high.
