On June 24, 2025, the ITTF released its Week 26 World Rankings. There was little change within the top 10 of both the men’s and women’s singles lists—Darko Jorgić moved up one spot, while China’s rising star Xiang Peng dropped one place. Meanwhile, Hugo Calderano, fresh off his men’s singles victory at the WTT Star Contender Ljubljana, remained World No. 3. In the women’s singles, champion Miyu Nagasaki hit a career-best ranking of No. 20, and former World No.1 Zhu Yuling climbed to No. 13, inching closer to a return to the elite tier.
Ranking Changes Driven by Tournament Adjustments
This week’s changes were primarily influenced by three ranking events:
New points from the 2025 WTT Star Contender Ljubljana,
Point expiration from the 2024 WTT Lagos Contender, and
Point expiration from the 2024 WTT Lima Youth Star Contender.
Of the three, the Ljubljana event had the most weight and consequently, the biggest impact.
Despite Team China sending 21 players to Ljubljana, they failed to reach any of the five finals, limiting the overall point gains. As a result, Xiang Peng, who was ranked No. 9, dropped to No. 10. The only Chinese player to make a singles semifinal—Chen Yi—rose two spots to No. 18.

Notable Movements and Highlights
Lin Gaoyuan, a Chinese world champion, remained ranked No. 16.
Japan’s Sora Matsushima climbed to No. 25, and Daiki Shinozuka stayed at No. 27.
Miyu Hirano dropped to No. 24.
Germany’s Dimitrij Ovtcharov, who has been dealing with health issues, fell 12 spots to No. 32.
One of the most heartening developments was the rise of Zhu Yuling, a former Chinese world champion now representing Macau, China. After making the women’s singles semifinals in Ljubljana, she jumped six spots to reach World No. 13. Though still short of her former World No.1 status, her steady climb back into the top 10 deserves praise.
Doubles Rankings: Consistency at the Top
In doubles:
The Lebrun brothers from France remain the top-ranked men’s pair, despite not winning in Ljubljana.
China’s Wang Manyu/Kuai Man (women’s doubles) and Lin Shidong/Kuai Man (mixed doubles) both retained their No.1 spots, thanks to strong performances in previous tournaments.
Among the winners in Ljubljana:
Lim Jonghoon / Ahn Jaehyun (Korea) rose from No. 11 to No. 6 in men’s doubles.
Miwa Harimoto / Satsuki Odo (Japan) entered the rankings at No. 20 after their women’s doubles win.
In mixed doubles, Lim Jonghoon / Shin Yubin maintained their No. 5 ranking.
These three winning pairs are set to compete again at the upcoming WTT Contender Zagreb, where another exciting showdown awaits.
