1. The score is significantly ahead, and it is difficult for Malone and Xu Xin to surpass Xiao Pang. At present, Xiao Pang ranks first with 14 145, Ma Long ranks second with 105 10, and Xu Xin ranks third with 8630. Even if Xiao Pang goes out in the first round and Malone wins the championship with 2000 points, it is difficult for Malone to surpass Xiao Pang and return to the first place in the world. Fan Zhendong doesn't have to worry about being overtaken like Sun Yingsha, because the integral lead is too big. On the contrary, whether Xu Xin can keep the third place in the world is somewhat subtle. Carl Delano, ranked fourth, scored 8608 points, and Zhang Benzhi, ranked fifth, scored 8505 points. The gap between these two players and Xu Xin is about 100. In the World Cup final, Cardeleno eliminated Lin, and in this event, Zhang Benzhihe reached the men's singles final. If they do well in Singapore, then Xu Xin is likely to lose the third place in the world, thus breaking the pattern of table tennis "Dragon Fat Python" ranking in the top three.
Pang Long is divided into two parts, including Zhang Benzhihe, Ochalov and Lin Yun. Lots will be needed to determine their ownership. According to the world ranking, the top two Fan Zhendong and Malone will automatically fall into 1/4 and 4/4 zones. Other players need to draw lots on the spot to enter the finals, so they will be assigned to which area.
1. Xiao Pang's strength is still the first. Can Malone stick out his lower body? Fan Zhendong's unexpected exit in Macau is still a small probability event. After all, no one can be a winning general. At present, ITTF is also promoting the reform of the competition system, and the World Cup, one of the three traditional events, will no longer be held. Table tennis is also following the example of tennis to set up four grand slam events, and Singapore is the first stop. The grand slam singles champion has 2000 points and a prize of 65438+ million dollars. Although it is a commercial event, its championship points are comparable to those of the Olympic Games. For this level of competition, Fan Zhendong will definitely not play too conservatively like Macau, but will try its best to win the championship.
The main threats to table tennis players are several old rivals. For example, Ochalov, who fought with Malone in the deciding game at the Tokyo Olympic Games, and Lin Yunru, Zhang Benzhi and Caldelano, who also fought fiercely with Xiao Pang for seven games, also had the ability to surprise. Xiao Pang is more likely to hold the top half, but it is more difficult for 34-year-old Malone to rush out of the bottom half and meet Xiao Pang in the men's singles final.
No, the integral base is large and it is difficult to be surpassed. Fan Zhendong is about 3,000 points higher than the second Malone, and the WTT Grand Slam singles champion only has 2,000 points. Even if Xiao Pang loses, it is hard to be surpassed. There are no points in Macao, and the day of the game is your birthday, which may be affected. You lost to young Xu Yingbin and missed the semi-final. However, this WTT Grand Slam event brought together the main players from various associations. Xiao Pang will definitely be ready to fight a fierce battle and dare not take it lightly. It's possible to lose, but it's unlikely. Xiao Pang and the Dragon Team are divided into the upper half and the lower half. Ideally, everyone wants them to enter the finals. However, Zhang Benlin, Yun Ru and others from the outsourcing are fiercely competitive and difficult to deal with. It will be possible to judge whether to lose according to the division, but Fan Zhendong will definitely lower its posture, accept the challenges of various associations, hold its first place and win the championship, and prove its strength again.
This game, regardless of Fan Zhendong's record, will not affect his first position.
Let's take a look at the scores of the top few in the world now:
1, Fan Zhendong 8598,
2, Malone scored 5404 points,
3, Hugo 49 13 points
4, Zhang Ben 4608 points

Even if Malone, who ranked second, won the championship and scored 2000 points, he didn't exceed Xiao Pang's score, so it didn't affect his ranking first.
