So, will Zhang Jike keep his first spot during 2013? And when will Ovtcharov overtake Timo Boll? Discuss!
--- Grand Slammer Zhang Jike still World No.1---
Zhang Jike managed to win the WTTC, Men's Singles World Cup AND the Olympic Games in the past year and a half which makes him the obvious World No.1. Zhang Jike has owned the top spot for 7 months...
...But can he keep this up during 2013?

Germany's Dmitrij Ovtcharov first managed to once again defeat Chuang Chih-Yuan in the semis, and later in the final his friend and teammate Timo Boll, in front of his homecrowd. Despite of his loss against Wang Liqin during the China Vs World challenge last week, Dima clearly showed that he belongs in the World Top 10. His work paid off and earned him a new ranking record: The 7th place. On the other hand, Japan's Jun Mizutani drops down to the 11th spot due to his inactivity.
Spain's Shen Yanfei impressed as she won over an even more impressing Iveta Vacenovska in the final. Both reach a career high at the 8th and 29th spot respectively.
One week later in Poland it was China taking away the prizes. Wang Hao and upcoming talent Zhou Yu seemed to have no problems with Jiang Tianyi and Chen Feng in the semis, after which Wang Hao took the crown with a 4-1 win in the final. Wang Hao increases the gap between him (4) and Timo Boll (5), and Zhou Yu jumps from the 84th to the 50th place.
The Women's title was taken by Ding Ning, though her final opponent impressed as well: Roumania's Elizabeta Samara records another career high at the 18th spot.
Other interesting changes:...But can he keep this up during 2013?
