Since many asked who held the longest no1, so I thought I would post this thread. Wang Liqin is the longest in the modern era.
I think the longest no1 is held by a Hungarian named VICTOR BARNA. He held it in 1931, 1932, and 1933/34. The ranking record disappeared and emerged again in 1938, and Victor was ranked no2 then. He might had held longer.
He was the world champion in the year 1930, 1932,33,34,35. And that's only in singles! 8-time World Doubles Ch: 1929-1935,1939. Mixed Doubles World Ch: 1932,35. And over 40 championship around the world (pro tours equivalent). He also published a book named "How To Win At Table Tennis" in 1957. I had a copy, but a friend borrowed it, and he lent it to another, and the another lent it to another, and so forth...and now it's history.
THE MAN!!!
PICTURES OF VICTOR ON A CIGARETTE CARD..and he was not even a smoker!! hahaha
Video of Victor Barna. Victor is the one using his BH predominantly. Who ever said you shouldn't use you BH on the FH side..hehehe
