I think ITTF Changing the rule to 4 month inactive on world scene = no WR is so silly.
Check so many still "active" players that has no world ranking in November.
This is the reason why so many players improve, and guess what, when all these inactive become active, then the improved players will drop again.
I wonder if this is good or not, or even an accurate reflection of world ranking
4 month is nothing - ie world cup - not every one can play
some world tours are pointless
some times there is injury etc
Exaclty. Some players like mattenet or quadri or matsudaira advanced only because they were able to play in world cup. Of course you need to win some games, but you get much more point then the other tournaments.
O think wang hao still wants to play, but now he is getting older and liu guoliang has no motivation to let Him play, because he has at least 4 players better the wang hao.
