Wang Hao's current form has pushed him past former world number 1 Timo Boll to become April's World Number 1!. Wang Hao's recent performance at the Volkswagen Cup in Guangzhou on 24th March 2011 by beating Timo Boll. So its official guys, set by the International Table Tennis Federation on Monday 4th April 2011, Wang Hao regains his world ranked 1 spot after a few years of battle.

Since the rise of Ma Long in December 2009, it was he who took away Wang Hao's 1 position of the world.

The German National hero, Timo Boll has narrowly dropped to rank 2 position.

The next 4 positions on the rankings are all held by the dominant Chinese team. Zhang Jike climbs 1 place to take 3rd place, whilst Ma Lin also climbs 1 place to take 4th position. Ma Long however has dropped 2 places down to 5th postion. Xu Xin keeps his 6th position and so does the rest of the top 10 positions from the previous March Ranking list that can be seen HERE

The biggest jump in the World Rankings of April goes to Lee Sang Su. Since his recent performance in the Polish Open 2011 by winning the event has seem him climb from 70 to 42 position!.
