BEIJING, July 26 (Xinhua) — With the ending of the WTT Championship in Budapest, the International Table Tennis Federation announced the latest world ranking on the 26th Beijing time.

In terms of men’s singles, Fan Zhendong, a Chinese player, was absent from the Star Challenge and the championship held in Budapest one after another, and 1400 points were deducted according to the rules. However, he still ranks first with 5500 points, leading the second Malone with 1800 points.

Why was Fan Zhendong, who was absent from the two races, deducted 1400 points? What is the new ranking rules of the International Table Tennis Federation? Many problems have aroused heated discussion on the Internet.

Regarding the changes in the world ranking rules of the International Table Tennis Federation, it can be traced back to a major reform promoted by the International Table Tennis Federation three years ago.

In order to comprehensively transform and upgrade the tournament system and business system of the International Table Tennis Federation and further promote the world influence of table tennis, the International Table Tennis Federation announced the establishment of the world table tennis professional league (WTT) in August, 2019.

What followed was the further optimization of the competition system and world ranking of the International Table Tennis Federation.

In December 2020, the International Table Tennis Federation announced the latest world ranking rules. Under the new rules, WTT Grand Slam events are included in the ranks of top tournament points, and become the top three events of the world ranking “pyramid” in parallel with the International Table Tennis Federation World Table Tennis Championships and the Olympic Games. The champion can get 2000 points.

In addition, WTT World Cup final champion and ITTF World Cup champion can win 1500 points. Other WTT Championships, star challenges and regular challenges can also get corresponding ranking points.

In addition, the New World Ranking initiative also includes an automatic shortlisted player list to determine the deadline for event registration by ranking; Only the best performing intercontinental/international events are included in the best 8 events.

In short, under the new rules, the world ranking of table tennis players consists of the eight events that they participated in in in the past year that earned the highest points. Players need to continuously participate in high-level events to get higher points, while the top athletes need to perform well and maintain the highest points of eight events in their world rankings.

It is worth noting that according to the relevant rules published by the International Table Tennis Federation, players who meet the competition conditions in the world ranking will be forced to enter the competition in the three competitions of WTT Grand Slam, WTT World Cup final and WTT Championship, withdrawal will be punished accordingly.

The punishment was proposed by the world ranking Working Group of the International Table Tennis Federation and approved according to the report submitted by the competition management of the International Table Tennis Federation or the world ranking working group, including the failure to obtain ranking points rewards, bonuses and deduction of players’ competition points, valid for one year.

According to the official website of the International Table Tennis Federation, the 1400 points that Fan Zhendong was deducted this time were obtained in the men’s table tennis singles project of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. In the 2022budapest Championship, his score was also marked as 0.

However, despite the deduction of 1400 points, Fan Zhendong still put pressure on the best players in all walks of life to rank first, and this has already been his number one position in the world of men’s singles for 27 consecutive months. The actual strength and ruling power can be seen. With the world’s first aura, although 1400 points were deducted, Fan Zhendong would not be affected to participate in the following ITTF and WTT events.

According to media reports, before Guozhen went to Budapest, Fan Zhendong, who was closed for training in Weihai, said that the decision not to participate in this competition was after various considerations and discussions with the coach in charge, made with caution.

“The most important competition in the second half of this year is the world championship team competition, and the recent closed training is also the core of preparation.” “In combination with the objective situation that my current world ranking points have greater advantages, and taking into account the demand for adjustment and reserve in the medium and long-term career planning, after the approval of the coaching staff, I decided to stay at home and actively prepare for the World Championship, strive for comprehensive improvement in physical fitness and technology.” Fan Zhendong said.

Wang Hao, Fan Zhendong’s supervisor coach, also believes, “at this stage, Fan Zhendong can take the initiative to think about his overall planning and the rhythm of preparing for war, which is a mature performance.”
