At the beginning of the new year, on January 3, 2023, ITTF updated the latest world rankings for the first week of the new year. National table tennis has obvious advantages, ranking first in men's singles, women's singles, mixed doubles, and women's doubles.
In terms of men’s singles, Fan Zhendong continues to lead, ranking first. Ma Long and Wang Chuqin are each one higher than their rankings in the last week of 2022, ranking second and third respectively. China's Liang Jingkun is ranked sixth. Lin Gaoyuan is ranked 12th. Japan's Zhang Benzhi and are ranked fourth.
In terms of women’s singles, Sun Yingsha continues to rank first. Chen Meng ranked second. Wang Manyu ranked third. Wang Yidi ranked fourth. Chen Xing and ranked fifth.
In mixed doubles, Sun Yingsha/Wang Chuqin rose one place to the top of the list.
In women’s doubles, Sun Yingsha/Wang Manyu continue to rank first.
In men’s doubles, Fan Zhendong/Wang Chuqin are still in third place.
At the beginning of the new year, the national table tennis team’s world rankings in the first week of 2023 not only have obvious advantages, but also have certain improvements. It is a good start, which is gratifying.
In 2023, the national table tennis team has a very heavy task. The most important events are the World Table Tennis Championships individual events in Durban and the Singapore Grand Slam. There are also the Asian Games, Asian Cup , Asian Championships, and other ITTF events.
2023 is a very important year for the national table tennis men’s and women’s teams. If the national table tennis men's and women's teams perform well in large-scale events held by the ITTF in 2023, they will not only achieve good results, but also gain higher points. In this way, both the national table tennis coaching staff and the national table tennis players are a great encouragement, which will lay a solid foundation for achieving good results in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Now the new coaching team of the national table tennis men's and women's teams has been formed. I wish that in the new year, the new coaching team of the National Table Tennis Team can lead the National Table Tennis Team members to work hard, strive bravely and achieve great results. Lay a solid foundation for achieving good results in the Paris Olympics.
