year 2025 has come and gone, and as early as the day before (31 December 2024), the ITTF has announced the world rankings for the 1st week of the new year, with multiple positions changing due to the withdrawal of the three Chinese table tennis team Olympic champions Ma Long, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fan_Zhendong\">Fan Zhendong<\/a> and Chen Meng.<\/p><p>According to the official website, the current women&#8217;s doubles world ranking No. 1 pair has changed from Chen Meng\/Wang Manyu to South Korea&#8217;s Tian Zhixi\/Shin Yubin (who also ranked No. 1 previously), while men&#8217;s doubles No. 1 continues to be held by France&#8217;s Leblanc brothers, and as for men&#8217;s singles, women&#8217;s singles and mixed doubles No. 1 still belongs to Wang Chuqin, Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin\/Sun Yingsha respectively, for more details, please see below.<\/p><p>The recent international competitions in the ping pong world were actually basically laid to rest as early as 8 December after the Mixed Team World Cup in Chengdu came to an end, so there would not have been much change in the world rankings after the 50th week (10 December), but what caught people off guard was the sudden announcement of the withdrawal of Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng from the world rankings on 27 December, which naturally triggered the upheaval.<\/p><p>In the previous 52nd weekly world ranking (24th December), Fan Zhendong was ranked sixth in the men&#8217;s singles and Chen Meng was fourth in the women&#8217;s singles, in addition to Fan Zhendong\/Wang Chuqin ranked eighth in the men&#8217;s doubles and Chen Meng\/Wang Manyu ranked first in the women&#8217;s doubles, which are now no longer shown in the list.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div
