Some members don't agree with the ITTF new World Ranking System.

Okay here is your chance to guestimate a better world ranking for the current month.

Then use this thread for updates for each new month.

Not a big ML fan as I find him quite boring to watch but I can’t understand how anyone can question him being number 1?

He's getting old. His style needs updating too.

1) Koki Niwa
2) Xu Xin
3) Liam Pitchford
4) FZD
5) Timo Boll
6) Ma Long

And the rest have no entertainment value.
Koki is by far the most fun player to watch.

Xu ruifeng - unorthodox player, loads of entertainment value

Watching Niwa Koki play is like watching a man gamble. He either wins an amazing point, or the ball flies wildly away from the table. His style is too high risk. I think Mizutani offers a more entertaining style, with longer rallies and high lobs.

Maybe, but Niwa's 100th coolest highlight is still way cooler than mizutanis best highlight

Xu Xin obviously is a god tier showman himself but the way niwa does his things is just so playful and deadpan at the same time, it's like norm mcdonald telling jokes

Yes, I was a little bit surprised too...

I'll be on conservative side this time:
1. ML
2. FZD
3. XX
4. Boll (he is on fire again (still)

5. LGY
6. Dima or Harrimoto (I think both are ~around same level now..)

also for me it seems there is some gap between these creme de la creme players and the rest in top 10-15

Dima has not been performing lately, not ranked 6 IMO

yes, that's true. I think he is on a rough patch with all the traumas and etc right now, but in general, I think his level hasn't changed in principle.
I think 6-7 is arround his level...

Same as with ML. He is no 6 right now, but in general there is not much doubt that he is no 1 or around there...

Archyan · Oct 8, 2018

What do you mean with the traumas? Has something happend to him?
