NEWS FLASH!
It's official, Dimitrij Ovtcharov is the New World Number 1! What a great way to start the new year for Germanys new world number 1! Last month's round of 16 victory against Koki Niwa at the World Tour Grand Finals secured Ovtcharov’s new status as the best player in the world.
This however was not official until today when the ITTF confirmed it via the release of the January 2018 ranking list!
2017 was the year of Dimitrij Ovtcharov! His first big win was at the China Open where he defeated German compatriot Timo Boll in the final. Dimitrij then followed this up by defeating Timo Boll again in the World Cup final, claiming his first major championship title.
A few weeks later Dimitrij shocked the table tennis world defeating China’s Fan Zhendong in the semi final of the German Open. In the final Ovtcharov took out once again Timo Boll!
These tournament victories have put Dimitrij on top of the world, as the new world ranking system ranks players on how far they reach in events. It has caused a lot of notable changes, Olympic/World Champion and former world number 1 Ma Long now incredibly moves to world number 7! In the Women's event, Ding Ning was ranked number 3 last month, this month the World Champion sits at number 21! Here's the top 30 list below:
