The last time Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong faced each other was in the World Table Tennis Championships final, and Fan Zhendong won. In the recent WTT Contender Zagreb final, Fan Zhendong lost to Lin Gaoyuan, and Wang Chuqin did not participate. Today, Wang Chuqin's ranking suddenly surpassed Fan Zhendong's. With regard to this ranking system, all I can do is shake my head and smile. 王楚钦和樊振东最后一次交手是世乒赛决赛，樊振东赢了。最近的 WTT Contender Zagreb 决赛樊振东输给林高远，王楚钦没参加。然后今天王楚钦排名忽然超过樊振东。对这种排名积分的方式，只能呵呵了。

[@zhadyzchumay6130]

How do you count the points... Fan Zhen Dong just won the world and just yesterday was a finalist in Zagreb while Wang Chu Qin didn't play... how come Wang Chu Qin was ranked 1st

[@debashishmitra]

​​​ I had the same question - but I guess what happened was this was a case of points expiring for Fan Zhendong for some past tournaments. Points acquired from a tournament are not for ever and have a validity period after which they expire. This way a player's total points can go down when such an expiration of points happens.

[@dattannguyen4093]

@@jjgodslayer1772 Lin Gaoyuan is number #7 before WTT Contender Zagreb, not someone outside top 50 or top 100. I do not look down on Wang Chuqin but the ranking system is a joke. WCQ is a great player, he deserved to be #2 in the world at the moment and likely to be future #1. However, a player that won World Championship, WTT Grandmash, and WTT Champion during last 12 months but still cannot keep their #1 spot, something is wrong with the ranking system.

[@hillsideonly]

Offence is amazing, Defence and grit still needs some work. Also I feel like has to try to exploit the inside out forehand more against right-handed players, Gaoyuan has used it to good effect in two finals now.

[@sstt5114]

Congrats to Wang Chuqin!! Well deserved !! Keep fighting!!

[@thehiddentruth22]

Being #1 in the world ranking is of course a huge feat for an athlete. But the history will mostly remember those with the biggest titles, such as the Olympic Gold and the WTTC singles titles. Let's see how far this kid would go in the coming years.

[@sherryz22]

I personally believe fan zhendong currently is still a little bit better than wing chuqin, but wang will overtake fan finally. One is his age advantage. The other thing is that fan’s weight will be his problem especially with the increase of his age, that would impact his movement and speed.

@@ente866 This is why I do not like the new ranking system. Points that players win with blood, sweat and tears get expired easily.

Taking nothing away from Wang Chuqin, how on Earth the ranking system rated him over Fan Zhendong? Fan just won the WTTC World Singles Championship. This once every 2 years tournament used to be the standard of excellence in Table Tennis. Is WTTC not counting the significance of this tournament anymore? Again, nothing against Wang Chuqin, he is very good but at this moment, Fan is the better player and the unquestionable #1 in the world. For any player in the world to take over the #1 spot, he has to win the WTTC Singles, the toughest TT tournament.

Is WCQ the first lefty player becoming No1 in the world? Congratulations!

[@lucashamilton151]

For those who are still wondering why WCQ is ahead of FZD while the latter has recently repeatedly won the most prestigious competitions, please remember that each player’s ranking point is based on their 8 BEST RESULTS in the LAST 12 MONTHS. Here’s the breakdowns: 1/ 🇨🇳 Wang Chuqin: - 2022 Star Contender 🇭🇺: W -> 600. - 2022 WTT Champions 🇲🇴: W -> 1000. - 2022 WTT Cup Final: W -> 1500. - 2022 Asian Cup: QF -> 90. - 2023 🇸🇬 Smash: SF -> 700. - 2023 WTT Champions 🇨🇳: QF -> 175. - 2023 WTT Champions 🇲🇴: W -> 1000. - 2023 World Championships: F -> 1400. => Total: 6465. 2/ 🇨🇳 Fan Zhendong: - 2022 WTT Champions 🇲🇴: F -> 700. - 2022 WTT Cup Final: R16 -> 100. - 2023 🇸🇬 Smash: W -> 2000. - 2023 WTT Champions 🇨🇳: W -> 1000. - 2023 WTT Champions 🇲🇴: QF -> 175. - 2023 World Championships: W -> 2000. - 2023 WTT Contender 🇭🇷: F -> 280. * 2022 WTT Champions 🇭🇺: wd -> 0. => Total: 6255. It should be noticed that 🇨🇳FZD got penalized for withdrawing from the 2022 WTT Champions in 🇭🇺 Budapest and only has 7 best tournaments counted. But his 8th best result is only 25 pts, so if that were counted he would still be behind 🇨🇳WCQ.

you can reach semi final in every tournament and not won a single cup and still be no1.

As much as we hate to admit that WCQ probably isn't the best player out there considering he still cannot beat Fan Zhendong and Liang Jingkun, we cannot deny that his performance in 2022 and 2023 is superb which brought him to this very stage. He won many tournaments in 2022 alone and one in 2023, reach the finals of the WTTC also. So no surprised he is the new world number 1 with the current new ranking system. I believe most ppl are upset because they think only the person who beats everybody like how FZD does can deserve the number one spot. But hey, FZD himself is losing a lot recently to both foreigners and teammates so yeah, not everybody wins all the time. New ranking systems wants players to win all the time and play all the time or you will be dropped to a lower ranking. That is how ridiculous it is but it is the new norm now
