Latest World Rankings: Wang Chuqin First, Lin Shidong Second, China Team Occupies 4 Seats in Top 10, Tomokazu Harimoto Third
January 22nd, Beijing time, following the successful conclusion of the 2025 WTT Regular Challenge Mascot Station, the International Table Tennis Federation's 2025 Week 4 world rankings have been released with great enthusiasm. In men's singles, the Chinese team occupies four seats in the top 10, with Wang Chuqin and Lin Shidong ranking first and second in the world.
The 2025 Week 4 world rankings of the International Table Tennis Federation are based on the 2025 WTT Regular Challenge Mascot Station. The recently concluded Mascot Station was the second competition for the Chinese table tennis team in the new year, with second-line players such as Chen Yuanyu, Xiang Peng, and Huang Youzheng participating. The Japanese team sent main players such as Tomokazu Harimoto, Kakeru Matsumoto, and Daiki Yoshimura to participate.
Among them, Tomokazu Harimoto is the No. 1 seed in the men's singles event and the biggest favorite to win the championship. It is very difficult for the Chinese team, which has a second-line lineup, to win the championship. However, their performance was unexpected. The 19-year-old sensation Chen Yuanyu not only reached the men's singles final but also defeated Tomokazu Harimoto 4-2 in the final to win the championship.
After the Mascot Station, the 2025 Week 4 world rankings of the International Table Tennis Federation were released with great enthusiasm. In men's singles, the Chinese team occupies four seats in the top 10, with Wang Chuqin and Lin Shidong ranking first and second in the world, Liang Jingkun ranking fifth, and Lin Gaoyuan ranking ninth.
The top 10 men's singles world rankings are specifically as follows: Wang Chuqin, Lin Shidong, Tomokazu Harimoto, Felix Lebrun, Liang Jingkun, Hugo Calderano, Truls Moregard, Patrick Franziska, Lin Gaoyuan, and Qiu Dang.
In addition, Chen Yuanyu, the men's singles champion at the Mascot Station, ranked 28th, creating a personal ranking record; Xu Si Wong of Hong Kong, China, rose 15 places to rank 40th; Chinese youngster Huang Youzheng rose 13 places to rank 60th, creating a personal ranking record; Indian player Manav Thakkar rose 19 places to rank 78th, creating a personal ranking record.
