the top ten men's singles players in the world are out! china has 6 seats, lin shidong set a record, fan zhendong and ma long were given 0 points. the international table tennis federation has announced the world rankings for the 38th week of this year. due to the wtt macau championships and wtt bulgaria feeder tournaments held last week, there are still some changes in this world ranking compared with the previous one, especially the 17-year-old chinese table tennis player lin shidong entered the top ten in the world for the first time in his career, currently ranked seventh, setting a personal high.

at the just concluded wtt macau championships, the chinese table tennis team won two championships, with lin shidong winning the men's singles championship and sun yingsha winning the women's singles championship. currently, among the top ten men's singles in the world, wang chuqin ranks first with 7925 points, fan zhendong ranks second with 5348 points, brazilian star hugo ranks third with 4070 points, liang jingkun ranks fourth with a difference of 45 points, french star felix ranks fifth, ma long ranks sixth with 3735 points, lin shidong won 1000 points with the wtt macau championships, and the total points reached 3065 points, ranking up to seventh, lin gaoyuan ranked eighth with 2820 points, zhang benzhihe ranked ninth, and lin yunru ranked tenth.

judging from the ranking, although wang chuqin failed to win the wtt macau championship, the points he earned by reaching the semi-finals just offset the previous points, so the total points did not change. since fan zhendong, who ranked second, will not participate in the next china grand slam, wang chuqin will continue to widen the gap with other players. fan zhendong missed the wtt macau championship, so according to the regulations, one of his 8 valid points was recorded as 0 points. fan zhendong will not participate in the next china grand slam, so one of fan zhendong's remaining 7 points will be recorded as 0 points. fortunately, the gap between other players and fan zhendong is also relatively large. fan zhendong will maintain his second place in the world in the short term. whether liang jingkun can enter the top three in the world will depend on his performance in the china grand slam. ma long, like fan zhendong, was also recorded as 0 points. at the same time, because ma long had missed a game before, ma long now has only 6 valid points, but ma long will return in the next china grand slam.

lin shidong, who has attracted widespread attention from the outside world, has demonstrated the qualities of a future leader of the national table tennis team. at the wtt macau championships, he won consecutive victories over four famous players, including japan's top player zhang benzhihe, chinese taipei's top player lin yunru, world number one wang chuqin, and germany's top player qiu dang. it can be seen that the championship won by lin shidong is of great value. it is no exaggeration to say that lin shidong can now be regarded as a main player of the national table tennis team. as long as he can maintain this performance in the future, lin shidong will get more opportunities during the los angeles olympic cycle.
