Sina sports also said how Xu Xin has recently occupied the top spot in the world rankings, although he is happy with his position, he knows that he must pay more attention to his achievements in world competitions.
Xu Xin commented saying “I feel that for me that the world ranking is not the most important, the results I gain in world competitions are for more important and so if you are in the top 4 of the world rankings then I wouldn't have any concerns. Of course it is better to be placed at a higher position but my goals currently lie in the world competitions. To be honest one of my biggest targets is to catch up with my team mates Zhang Jike and Ma Long.
This comment comes as no surprise having found out that even when Ma Long had been staying on top of the world rankings his experienced coaches were still hesitant in letting him take part in the Olympic singles due to the lack of a world title. Xu Xin will be taking this into consideration and with his dream of being part of the Rio 2016 Olympics he will be putting all of his focus into getting that title at the 2013 World Championships.
