On 15 October, ITTF announced the 42nd weekly world ranking list, the new Asian Championships Men’s Singles runner-up Lin Shidong reached a new high, and has now surpassed Fan Zhendong to reach the No.2 position in Men’s Singles, while Harimoto Tomokazu, who beat Lin Shidong to win the Men’s Singles title at the Asian Championships, rose to the 8th, and Women’s Singles Champion Kim Kim Kim-young rose by 452 to reach the 57th, with runner-up Harimoto Tomokazu remaining unchanged in the 7th position.
Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha continue their reign as world No.1 in singles, while the three doubles remain the same with Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha, Lin Gaoyuan/Lin Shidong, and Chen Meng/Wang Manyu ranked No.1, see below for more details.
The main influence on this edition of the world rankings comes from the Asian Championships that ended last week, and although this tournament has received a lot of attention because of the many foreign defeats suffered by the Chinese table tennis team, after all, only Asian players participated in the tournament, and the points were not very large (500 points for the winner), so it did not have as much of an impact on the rankings as the last WTT Chinese Smash (2,000 points for the winner).
For example, Wang Chuqin stopped in the last eight of the singles at the Asian Championships, and Sun Yingsha didn’t participate in the singles, but because of their relatively stable results over the last year, the duo are still ranked as the world’s No. 1 in both men’s and women’s singles.
