The September world rankings have been released from the ITTF and here are the listings below! There have been some awesome transformations in the rankings this period so check it out! The rankings were published by the International Table Tennis Federation on Thursday 1st September 2011.
Two stars stole the show this time around. This were China's Yan An and Russia's Alexey Liventsov. This is the first time both players have broke into the top 100 barrier however by the looks of things they will be breaking the top 50 barrier in no time!
