Monaco’s Yang Xiaoxin Yang reached her career-best position of 34th place on the ITTF Table Tennis World Ranking following her victory in the Women’s Singles final at WTT Contender Budapest last week.
Yang surged ten spots from her previous 44th position, enjoying another proud moment after adding her first WTT Series title to her international tally, including the 2014 ITTF World Tour Croatia Open and 2016 ITTF World Tour Czech Open.
18-year-old Russian Elizabet Abraamian, who created her impression in the Hungarian capital with her incredible run from the qualifying rounds to the final, jumped from 415th to 275th position in Senior Women’s Singles Ranking.
Despite missing out on a dream finish when she lost to top seed Yang at WTT Contender Budapest, the teenager also moved from seventh to second place on the Youth ranking as points from U19 are valid for that ranking.
Sweden’s Truls Moregard also enjoyed a significant move when he rose from 103rd to 78th in the Senior Men’s Ranking and rocketed to third place from his previous seventh position on the Youth ranking.
The 19-year-old captured the Men’s Singles Title stunningly when he first upset Nigerian number two seed Quadri Aruna in the quarter-final before dispatching Germany’s Kilian Ort in a seven-game thriller in the final.
With his win, Moregard became the second-youngest player to claim a Men’s Singles trophy at a WTT Series event after Japan’s Tomokazu Harimoto. He is also the first Swede to win a singles title at an open international tournament since Anton Källberg at the 2019 ITTF Challenge Croatia Open.
Ort meanwhile jumped from 198th position to 155th with his runner-up finish. Hungary’s Dora Madarasz and Szandra Pergel, who secured the Women’s Doubles title, moved from 23rd position to seventh after cruising past Russian top seeds Olga Vorobeva and Yana Noskova to claim the title on home soil.
China’s Fan Zhendong continues to lead the Senior Men’s Singles world ranking as the world number one with compatriot Ma Long and Xu Xin in second and third place, respectively. China’s Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha are first and second on the Senior Women’s Singles world ranking, with Japan’s Mima Ito trailing closely behind in third place.
