Who do you think is the best table tennis player in the world right now?

Yes, players can be analyzed in many different way but it doesn't mean that there is not a best players.The player that get ranked #1 in most of subjects is the best. And for me he is Zhang Jike.He is the best in every thing except of forehand.

Best in every thing except forehand? I don't think his forehand is weaker though

When he lost to them in big events!?

Xu Xin lost to Yan An at the Asian Cup SF 2013 and he lost to Fan Zhendong in the Chinese National Games SF 2013

Hi guys,

who do you think at this present moment in time is the best player in the world?

Ma Long,Xu Xin,Zhang jike share that position.

They are closely followed by Fan Zhendong,and given a few years, maybe even 2,he will surpass them,plus he will have age on his side

I think you get me wrong. I mean "Zhang Jike" not "Xu Xin".

Anyway, XX lost to YAn in SF of ATTC not AC. Also he was injured in his match against FZD in the SF of CNG.

His forehand is surely in top 3 in the world but not the best. Ma Long and Xu Xin have better forehands than him.

for me zjk , ma long and xu xin are the best in workd and between them i prefer zjk . he's the best in backhand and his forehand is strong too .

Ma Long and Xu Xin's forehand are not as spinny as ZJK's

Spin is not the only factor.
XX and ML have more control on their forehands. Also their forehands are faster. They have better short game and they are better in flicking the ball.
