Truls recent performances puts him 3 on the world rankings. It is refreshing to see Truls, Lebrun brothers and other young players coming through. Darko also. There a time when European hopes looked bleak..
He won against 3 players outside top30…that definitely justifies him to be rank 3 now…. NOT
Isn't Pitchford ranked around 20th or so?

Well, Top 4 should probably be 4 Chinese players, and pretty much the only players who can challenge them are the young trio of Truls, Harimoto and Lin Yun-Jo. Consistently winning almost all games but vs eachother is Ma Long and FZD. So In my oppinion position 3-7 could be any of the others
Top 11 men (2800+) according to Rating Central as of October 1:
This seems about right to me. The top 4 without a doubt, and then 5-11 in any order. Maybe add Darko (#14 2784 to the second group).

So ITTF are branding the WTT ranking as the World Ranking? What is rating central, how can that ranking differ?
