The right side of the square is evenly crispy, the flowers are embroidered, and the garden is more red and green than the garden. See the milk swallow carrying butterflies over the branches. Suddenly, a line of incense chased the gossamer. The day is eternal in the world, the independent slanting sun, and the late taste.
The footsteps of the Paris Olympics are getting closer and closer, and the Japan Table Tennis Association has taken the lead in announcing the list of players who will participate in the Paris Olympics. Men's Tomokazu Haramoto and Hayasuke Togami participated in the singles, and Shinozuka Daito was shortlisted as the third candidate of the men's team. Women's Hina Hayada and Miu Hirano participated in the singles, and Miwa Zhang was selected as the third candidate for the women's team lineup. Even Miyu Kihara, a P card candidate, has already revealed in advance. However, the Chinese table tennis team, which is the world's No. 1, has not officially announced the final list of participants in the Paris Olympics.
Therefore, every change in the world ranking has attracted the attention of the outside world and tugged at the heartstrings of fans. In the tenth week of the world rankings, due to the expiration of the WTT Goa tournament and the change in the points of the Busan team World Table Tennis Championships, there have been slight changes in the table tennis world rankings, and these subtle changes have a very significant impact on the table tennis world.
The first major change is that Lin Gaoyuan has risen one place in the rankings to rank fourth in the world, and Liang Jingkun has dropped to fifth. In the latest rankings, Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, and Ma Long are still ranked in the top three in men's singles, both in terms of Olympic points and overall strength, the three of them are higher than other players, and they are basically locked in the qualification for the Paris Olympics, but Lin Gaoyuan's rise in ranking has made the belonging of the men's team P card unpredictable. Judging from the current situation, there is a high probability that the P card of the Paris Olympics will be produced in Lin Gaoyuan, Liang Jingkun and Lin Shidong.
Liang Jingkun has experience in preparing for the Tokyo Olympics, Lin Shidong is a newcomer that the coaching staff focuses on cultivating, which is conducive to echelon construction, and Lin Gaoyuan, who has been at a disadvantage, has now risen to fourth in the world rankings and has the advantage of a left-handed racket. Unfortunately, Lin Gaoyuan's ranking rose a little late, and the WTT Incheon Championship used the world ranking in week 9, when Liang Jingkun, who was ranked fourth, won the last men's singles spot in the national table tennis competition.
The second major change, Wang Manyu surpassed Wang Yidi and returned to the top three in the world. Wang Yidi, as the women's singles champion of the 2023 Goa Star Challenge, has 600 points expiring, replacing the 167 points in the team competition at the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, Wang Yidi has a total of 4072 points, down one place, fourth in the world, and Wang Manyu has 4137 points, rising to third.
The national table tennis women's team is in stark contrast to the men's team in the determination of the Olympic lineup. In addition to Sun Yingsha, who has already locked in a singles spot, the competition for another women's singles spot and the third person in the team has become fierce, and the battle between Chen Meng, Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi has attracted much attention. In the latest world rankings, Chen Meng regained the No. 2 spot in the world, while Wang Manyu is in third place, and Wang Yidi has dropped from second to fourth in the rankings over the past two weeks, making the situation even more complicated.
In the upcoming Singapore Grand Slam, Chen Meng will partner Wang Manyu in the Women's Doubles event, and all three players will compete in singles. The winner of this tournament will receive 2,000 world ranking points and 3,000 bonus points for the singles international competition at the Paris Olympics. For these three players of similar strength, the result will be particularly important.
The third biggest change was Diaz, which moved up two spots to ninth. Born in 2000, Diaz won the women's singles gold medal at the Central American and Caribbean Games at the age of 14, became the first table tennis player in Puerto Rico's history to participate in the Olympics at the age of 15, won the women's singles gold medal at the Pan American Table Tennis Championships at the age of 16, and won three golds and one bronze at the Pan American Games at the age of 19, becoming the first Latin American female gold medalist and the youngest gold medalist at the event. In the Chengdu Mixed Team World Cup, Diaz reversed Olympic champion Wang Manyu 2-1.
The fourth major change is that Szokos has risen two places to 10th, entering the top 10 of the world rankings for the first time in his life. Szokos, known as the No. 1 beauty in the world table tennis world, won the women's singles 1 8 finals of the 2022 WTT Macau Championships, fought five games with Olympic champion Chen Meng, won the deciding game 13-11, and narrowly defeated Chen Meng 3-2 to advance. In the quarterfinals of the 2023 WTT Macau Championship, she met world champion Chen Xingtong and defeated Chen Xingtong 3-1 to advance. In the second round of the 2023 WTT Frankfurt Championship, he defeated the world champion Chen Meng again 3-2. In the 2023 European Championships, he defeated Yang Xiaoxin 4-3 to win the European Championships.
It is no accident that they can defeat Wang Manyu, Chen Meng and Chen Xingtong and enter the top ten in the world, and their rise in the world ranking is definitely not a good thing for national table tennis.
The fifth major change, Han Ying and Zheng Yijing both dropped out of the top ten. Both are veterans of the table tennis world, and with the continuous improvement of young players such as Shin Yubin and Diaz, it is almost impossible for them to regain their place in the top 10 in the world.
The bamboo sill knocks on the jade, the banana window reflects the green veil, and the pipa is laughing. The moon is light and the tree is fragrant, the flowers are rich and fragrant, the pretty people are beautiful, and the little fairy is tea.
