Due to the recent world table tennis competition, there have been no international competitions, so the top ten positions in the world have not changed significantly. Even in the future, some points will be cleared as time goes by. However, due to Sun Yingsha 's recent outstanding results in the world competition, she will not see a downward trend in the ranking in a short time. Instead, she may continue to stabilize her ranking as the world's number one because of her continuous good results in the world competition. What is gratifying to us is that in the last update of the world rankings in 2022, Sun Yingsha continued to rank first in the world with 8,270 ranking points. She also became the first young player born after 2000 to top the annual world rankings. While it brings glory to the national table tennis team, it also gives a good start to the young post-2000 stars.
Of course, for the other three famous national table tennis players, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi, although the results throughout 2022 have had ups and downs, each Since there has been a relatively obvious trough period at a certain stage, from Chen Meng to Wang Manyu to Wang Yidi, they have also lost foreign battles that they should not have lost. However, in comparison, they have remained in a relatively stable state, and each has withstood the test, and at the end of the year, they slowly regained their form. Chen Meng has won a little less championships, but the lower limit is basically acceptable. Her current world ranking points are 6,715 points, 1,555 points less than Sun Yingsha. This ranking point basically reflects her competitive status throughout 2022. Obviously, for Chen Meng, because she does not have an age advantage over Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha, Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong, , and the recent head-to-head confrontations between them have also begun a downward trend in performance, so for Chen Meng, the next individual event at the Durban World Table Tennis Championships is very critical. Only by winning the World Table Tennis Championships singles championship in this competition can she further maintain her advantage in competing for the women's singles qualification for the Paris Olympics.
As for Wang Manyu, judging from the fact that she and her mentor Xiao Zhan chose to act separately, it is obvious that Wang Manyu wants to ensure her health first during the Paris Olympics cycle, and then work hard to qualify for singles. After all, she won the women's singles championship at the last World Table Tennis Championships, which in itself gave Wang Manyu a certain advantage in the competition among top players among her teammates. However, hard work and intense training often prevented her from being in an ideal competitive state. The impact of injuries also caused her to repeatedly lose in internal competitions with her teammates. Recently, she has even lost foreign battles. Therefore, for Wang Manyu, 5,250 points, as well as the comprehensive ability to fully develop singles, doubles, and mixed doubles, will be her advantage in the future Olympic competition. She needs to turn this advantage into a victory, ensure the Olympic quota, and strive for a chance to compete in women's singles.
As for Wang Yidi, in fact, the development momentum in the later period is still very ideal. Her current ranking points of 5175 points are very small, and the gap between her and Wang Manyu is very small. In addition, she has always been on the upward path in the singles arena. She is very competitive against Wang Manyu and Chen Meng. It depends on whether she can be more ruthless to herself and ensure that While not losing in foreign competitions, she will continue to compete with her teammates and strive for a dominant position. Once this is achieved, the three teammates ahead of her, especially veterans like Chen Meng, will be replaced by her, and it is not impossible to become the new three golden flowers of national table tennis.
As for Mima Ito and Hina Hayata , they rank fifth and sixth in the world's women's singles with 3415 points and 3005 points respectively, and they indeed represent the highest level of foreign associations. Hina Hayata has a more comprehensive style of play, and her height advantage also gives her great stamina, while Mima Ito has rich experience in world competitions. It seems that sometimes she has less and less chance to gain the upper hand when facing the main players of the national table tennis team. However, in competition with players from other associations, Mima Ito is still the most stable among players from foreign associations, and it also needs the attention of national table tennis players.As for our No. 5 main player Chen Xingtong, although she is affected by the continuous highlights of her first four teammates, it seems that both her seventh world ranking and her position as the No. 5 main player in the national table tennis team make it difficult for her to move forward. The ranking points of 2255 points are still far behind the previous six players. However, Chen Xingtong has a relatively calm personality and does not seem to have a very strong sense of wanting to compete. Therefore, it is also a good result that she can stabilize her current ranking and help the national table tennis team maintain a relatively stable top ten ranking. As for competing for an Olympic spot, it's obviously still a bit difficult.
Ranking eighth, ninth and tenth in the world are respectively Ishikawa Kasumi , the former sister of the Japanese women's table tennis team, Du Kaiqin from Hong Kong, China, and from Germany. China's chipping veteran Han Ying, their three ranking points correspond to 1890 points, 1680 points and 1670 points respectively. Obviously there is a clear gap between these three players and the previous players, and their lead over the players ranked 11-20 is not obvious. Especially Ishikawa Kasumi, in the Japanese women's table tennis team, there are interceptors in front and pursuers in the back. If they don't grasp it well, they may not be able to qualify for the Paris Olympics. For Ishikawa Kasumi, there will be a lot of pressure in the future. As for Du Kaiqin and Han Ying, because they are the top players in their respective associations, as long as they do not experience a significant decline in form and strength, it will not be difficult for them to participate in individual events at the World Table Tennis Championships and the Paris Olympics in the future. However, it will take a lot of effort to get good results or even win medals. Let us also congratulate these ten players again for becoming the top ten players in the world at the end of the year.
