Ma Long just doesn't have many recent results. He hasn't played enough tournaments. Sensible for him to keep him in top shape like Federer, but hell in this new ranking system. They copied tennis. But tennis has 13 events a year that everyone is guaranteed to play pretty much. Table tennis has one major a year, or two every other. They have four grand slams and 9 masters series a year. It's not the same and their system should be adapted in light of this.
