On October 28, Beijing time, some media noticed the latest ranking given by the World Table Tennis Federation, in this list, most of the players are ranked relatively normal, but only Ding Ning ranked fourth in the women's place makes fans a little incredible, after all, Ding Ning rarely participates in the game after 2019, but some fans said that Ding Ning's strength is there, and it is also right to get such a ranking.
As a very good table tennis player, Ding Ning has won a total of 3 World Cups, 3 World Table Tennis Championships and 1 Olympic Championship in his career, and has achieved his grand slam player title after 2016, and in September this year, Ding Ning officially announced his retirement. Her departure is a big blow for fans, but considering that she is 31 years old and her injuries are very serious, retiring is also a very good choice.
However, in the latest list of the International Table Tennis Federation, Ding Ning's singles points still rank fifth in the world, the top four are Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Ito Mimachi and Wang Manyu. The reason for this situation is mainly because of the epidemic, in the period from 2020 to 2021, there are fewer world competitions, and Ding Ning's strength is very strong, in 2019 she won a number of competitions, so it is more normal to rank fifth in the standings.
Although it is said that Ding Ning has not played for two years but can still rank in the top five in the world, netizens feel very magical, but this can also see the strength and heritage of national table tennis. It is worth mentioning that in the list given by the World Table Tennis Federation this time, eight of the top 20 players in the world women's singles ranking are Chinese players, of which four of the world's top five are Chinese table tennis players.
This kind of dominance reflects the strong strength of national table tennis, and it also makes fans very excited. Compared with men's table tennis, women's table tennis's current achievements and status are more excellent, after all, the young players of men's table tennis have poor ability to resist pressure, and the record of foreign wars is not good, in short, I still hope that national table tennis can get good results in the next World Table Tennis Championships.
