Freshly baked! The ITTF World Rankings for Week 10 of 2024 are out! The men's and women's singles rankings have changed slightly, with Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Manyu both rising one place and winning the top four! Both upgrades, momentum like a rainbow! This means that the controversy of "why not Wang Manyu", which has been in the limelight since the Busan World Table Tennis Championships, has finally ushered in a respite. Wang Yidi slipped to fourth, and the competition with the World Table Tennis Championships in Basel gradually drifted away.
In the men's singles, Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin and Ma Long are still firmly in the top three, while the fourth position was taken by Lin Gaoyuan, and Liang Jingkun slipped slightly to fifth. But unfortunately, Lin Gaoyuan's promotion coincided with the following week, and he was unable to participate in the WTT Incheon Championships at the end of the month, which allowed the fourth-ranked Liang Jingkun to successfully win the last men's singles spot in the national table tennis. F. Lebrun, Hugo, Lin Yunru, Zhang Benzhihe, and Qiu Dang ranked 6th to 10th.
In the women's singles, Wang Manyu's comeback was eye-catching, and she regained the third place in the world with a gap of 62 points. The expiration of WTT Goa's points last year led to a sharp decline in Wang Yidi's points, providing Wang Manyu with a rare opportunity. This move allows Wang Manyu to easily cope with the next matches and avoid pressure affecting performance. Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng are still in the top two, and Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi are in the first place.
In the sixth and eighth places, Shin Yubin, Adriana Diaz and Bernadette Szokos also made it to the top ten.
This news will undoubtedly set off a storm in the table tennis world, and fans have expressed their anticipation for the next game! Who will emerge in the upcoming events? Let's wait and see! It is worth mentioning that this change in the ranking will have a significant impact on the upcoming matches, and the players are bound to give their all to strive for better results.
