- This video shows the top 10 male table tennis players from 2001 to 2019. Over the past 20 years, the ranking system of ITTF (International Table Tennis Federation) has changed several times. That's why sometimes the points change dramatically from the 2,000 range to the 10,000 range.

Timo and Vladi over generations and generations coming on: "every step you take I'll be watching you"
lol, Samsonov played against Liu Guoliang and now he's competing with his students.
@@thenewguy7527 more like the students of his students..
More like chinese men’s team to Timo and Vladi:”we’ll dominate you and so will our students and so will theirs.”
@@playerkingofnewyorkcity2581 Ummm.... Yea...
No.
Respect Timo Boll and Vladimir Samsonov!! Almost 20 year in top 10!
Taiwan's Chuang ChihYuan as well
That goes for me too!!!
nice present
Everyone already respect them stupid
@海上巡逻者 Jan-Ove Waldner?福原爱?
Kinda funny to see Timo popping out of nowhere at the end of 2001 on rank 10 and staying in the top ten for almost a decade constantly. :D
And huge respect to Samsonov for being able to play at a high level for such a long time.
Timo almost two decades so far
@@zty3529 Number 8 currently
I love how Vladimir Samsonov plays. An absolute master defensively, not many people would be able to break out of such difficult situations
The coach of the Chinese team once said that compared with the Olympic Games and the International Open, the training of the Chinese team is more competitive. Participating in the Olympics is more like relaxing the mood of the players and relieving the pressure.
It feels like only Germany can withstand the power of Asia
Because he is the only one in his country and has the opportunity to complete worldwide. You can see how he would rank now after joining Chinese civil competition
East Asia...
Samsonov is just my favourite. He was/is extremely gifted. One out of 10 millions.

4:48 You can totally see how ITTF messed up the ranking system when everything went to crap in 2018.
Short answer: yes
I’m just curious about how these beautiful infographics animations are made.
non-Chinese players: why do I hear boss music?
Ma Long is the GOAT in table tennis. He won all the champions twice in his career
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷Hugo Calderano, Top 6 e Bicampeão das Américas! 👏👏👏👏
People come and go, but Boll and Samsonov stay 😘😘
The rankings only go back to 2001. Wang Liqin was winning international titles from 1998, and probably would have been number 1, definitely in the top 10 international, by the time Boll won his first German championship.
The moment when you need 2 glorious player to play duo championship, but you have 4 😔
サムソノフとボルって今も昔も強いのか。。
Interesting and very ingenious video.
Short answer: Yes
Respect Samsonov and mizutani
Ma Long, Zhang Jike, Xu xin, the scariest trio of all time, dream team
there is no any team called Taiwan which officially called chinese taipei representative, you did your personally stuff inside video
This rank is for credits you get from world competitions, Some non Chinese players ranked this high because he is the only one in Their country and has every opportunity to go to any competition that can get credits from
張本君まだ15歳なのに既に世界ランキング４位とか凄すぎでしょ・・・

He don't know what is respect！I hope the Japanese can teach him.

3:36 can someone pls explain me how fzd suddenly appeared as 5th place? Did he have some kind of godlike winning streak 😂 ?Or did win a major tournament ?
Not sure, the only thing I know that kid is new to the world rankings and already got to the top
Marcos Freitas
boll vs Asia?
of course the answer is yes
I heard it is required that a player need to win at least 10 games and lose at least 10 games in order to be ranked. For this reason, some Chinese players don't have a ranking for years because they haven't achieve that "10 loosing games"
Legendary Timo Boll
Love from India🇮🇳
Ovtcharov & Boll 🔥🔥
Do badminton next plz

Adam: Ma Long~~~~~ THE dictator, THE dragon, THE king!!! 😱
German in every sports. How could they doing this?
Amazing!
Idk if someone can explain me
the system in germany is really good for this, multiple coaches and good coaches available and they are paid good. also many people in germany that means a good competition with equally rivals everywhere you go. look at timo and dima their are friends but also everytime they play they are close in their matches. they lift each others game and thats how it s done in every sport :)
Cem are you stupid? German in every sport haha.. you must be stupid... In badminton where is Germany?. A small country with 5 mil people is dominate badminton and it is Denmark🇩🇰. Also in handball, le Mans , so fuck nazigermany
@@lluminati1862 Wow. They are really good in olimpic. They are really awasome in Football and Basketball.
They are really good in Skating. You have really problem with that

in the end there is just the one. the Evergreen, 'The Mozart of Table Tennis. Jan-Ove waldner.
咋感觉这五星红旗的四个小星星怪怪的。。
Some Japanese and Korean players are Chinese descent
There are probably 20 chinese players in the super league who would be in the top 50 but no one knows them because they are not allowed to play international
I never knew Dima and Xu Xin were n.1 at some point
Malong is a beast
He's still the top as of today
Funny how the English invented the sport, but you don't really see any good ones in the top 10, 🤨🤔
Same story with cricket 😂😂
Same story with football
Paul Thellenberg China invented football. But ......
@@markshao3901 lol
Paul Thellenberg but China did invent the football. You can google it
ボルとか未だに世界トップクラス化け物
T-mobile is incredible !
No 1 malong
Short answer : Yes.
If China TT players can all be allowed to participate in international events, the dominance will be desperate.
I just think if China is able to send 10 players to play each tournament, how many will be in the top 10.
I love Boll and Ovtcharov very much from China.
In fact, most chinese people respect Germany player.
*seeing the title and thumbnail*
ahh shoot, it's gonna be a long long time watching Ma Long in the top
What do the numbers by their names mean? Is it some sort of rating like in chess?
I guess the answer is YES.
you "GUESS"?GOOD ONE!
Dă-ți-i dreaq de orezari mah 😅
I dont know man the chinese were never in the top 10 once.

Wang Liqing, Ma Long are the dominators. Boll is always in top list.
Wang hao too
WANG HAO THE BEST??
@Zhang J.K wtf he is the only one who was in the top ten almost all the time and he was the only one to challenge the chinese players for rank number 1
yScene noo
One information the most Chinese player have been number one for most of the time is Ma long
@Zhang J.K he is g....y
The most competitive Table Tennis games are the civil games in China, because more powerful players has no chance to play outside because they fail in civil games for entry quota of international games.
Pretty sure the Chinese would fill up the top 20 if they were allowed to play international.
That is pretty effing racist. I don't know what word to describe it so I said racist. Why limit a country's participation? It sounds to me like white people being sore losers because they can't beat the Chinese.
Nikola Tesla why?
Cory Plum This guy saying the truth. But I believe it’s fair. Just like in basketball, America builds there dream team by picking all-star players. It doesn’t mean other players in NBA league play bad. But we still need to pick best, which are among the best.
@@reinebautistamercado4286 I know it's unfair. but letting one particular country dominate EVERY international tournament would not be conducive to the development of TT. It would be boring to see all Chinese players in the round of 8 in each tournament. then TT would cease to be an international sport. I'm Chinese, but I have to admit seeing Chinese players win all the time is kind of boring.
The highlight here is Timo Boll. He is there for 3 generations.
He was no. 1 in 2002, 2011 and 2018
He is not a Highlight...he never won any important championship. Lost all the big games vs china. nobody cares about his nationalnoder european championships. if u wanna be a legend in table tennis...u have to beat the chinese at olympia or world championships.
btw im german
He beat Ma Lin, Wang Liqin and Wang Hao in the world cup 2005 winning it.
its like winning the champions league in football. but legends are build as world champions or olympian gold medalist.
@@RobinTT89 he 2on 2 champion chips beatimg the chinese boys...
Timo Boll needs to make 5 prodigy children so germany can try to compete
@Todesbewusstsein Kay stumper? 16 und Bundesliga
@Todesbewusstsein Indeed, the newer european generation are just not good enough, they arent even on the level of the new Japanese players let alone Chinese
@Todesbewusstsein I dont think so, maybe if he was younger then yea! however, Patrick relies on strength for the most part and thats why he holds his own against big names, but in terms of being compared with Timo? no way, thats not even close. But if I would pick one good European player it would be Pitchford, he has done some great things, but for the past year he hasnt been really on the scene much.
Auch dann nicht ,leider. WIE OFTG HAT ER DIE WM GEWONNEN???RICHTIG KEINMAL .UM ZU DEN GROßEN ZU GEHÖREN MUSS EIN WM TITEL HER.UND EINEN NICHT WM TITELTRÄGER MAL 4 MACHT 4 MAL TITRLTRÄGERLOSE SPIELER
Todesbewusstsein im chinese and great respect to Timo, some of the best player there is.
Timo boll is einem Monster!
Liebe von China
In short: " DO YOU HAVE TO ASK? "
2015-2017 it was literally impossible to beat Ma Long. Go and watch some of his games if you are new to tt.
just watched a game he got trashed by some kid, but thn noticed thats not within the years u stated
@@ijuineiwa l.ol
Impossible??he won the world champilnship because fan zhendong choked
@@gdounito But then who won exactly?
George D. Fan choked, but Ma Long didn’t choke in duce in the decider of final, Ma Long can be proud of this
Timo Boll is so sick. Still in the top 10. Also, I must pay my respects to the emperor... MA Long.
Still in top 10 2022
It is very real, Ma Long all the way
I usually admire Chinese table tennis players the most because they seemed to be just unmatched.
But I respect Timo Boll almost at the same level as Wang Liqin, Ma Lin, and Ma Long. He just has that longevity and stability I have not seen in any other player. He might not ever reach the top, but he played the best of the best for two decades.
Because Germany have no more talented tt players
Dude, actually chinese players can also play at a high level for a long long time, but they are forced to be retired when they were still so strong because they have to leave the position to the young players,and let the young ones get enough chance to compete in the big games

@@rodolforeetz3189 nossa eu n entendi aquilo, fiquei bem puto quando vi, ganha do top 1, mas gela no top 5, acho q eh esses grito desse mlk q n cala a boca q destabiliza o hugo :/
Vai ser o top 1
@@sneed1100 é pq os dois jogos foram no msm dia. O hugo se desgastou bastante na partida contra o fan e logo depois ja tinha que jogar contra o harimoto. Difícil manter o msm ritmo nas 2 partidas. Teve até reclamações por causa disso da equipe.
o Hugo joga demais, muito bom ver ele jogar
Ma Long is a real legend! Topped for so many years
I know right, but the new wtt rankings value participation more than results of the match so ma long hasn't been #1 since the new change which is sad
btw his name literally means 'horse dragon' in chinese.
he is sooo handsome
The fact that Waldner was even featured for a while on that list, a man who was in his prime from late 80's to around mid 90's, is incredible.
Dang, Timo Boll is amazing! His persistence doesn't cease, and he keeps on making these amazing comebacks! Props to Dimitrij too!
True, and I am German :)
Zhang Jike what a legend! Fastest rise ever 👏🏻👏🏻
Edit: lol, actually the fastest rise in terms of rankings is Xu Xin, Zhang is the fastest grand slam champion. Both awesome
What about Harimoto? (Asking, not contradicting, I actually don't know)
Zhang JiKe is born for the table tennis and it's kind of sad that he stopped playing after the 2016 Olympic

@@yuiinaba1413 thanks!
Just hoping that FZD will replace him
But he is badly injuried right now.
Respect to Boll. But, to be honest, a partial reason why he stays in top 10 for such a long time is that there is few table tennis genius in German so that he always has chances to attend important games. In China, if you are not top 3, you lose many game opportunities.
Timo Boll, the knight who could challenge the dragons
Not really. Maybe in the past but definitely not challenging anymore. Sadly
OkWieso He has gotten old. Can't compete with the young fast reflexes.
@@ztvn3684 He almost beat FZD today at the Austrian open 2019. "not challenging anymore".
not the knight but also the only knight
Haha
RESPECT TIM BOLL
It's such a twist of fate that Wang Liqin and Ma Lin combined managed to maintain a full decade of domination. And yet none of them clinched the grand slam.
ma lin won a gold in 2008 bejing Olympics bruh
True ma lin did won the Olympics, but he never achieved a grand slam...
@@powerplaylive Ma Lin never won a WTTC, he fell short in all 3 finals he had. But he did won the gold medal, and won 4 world cups, he's an honorary grand slam imo.
@@Koj4 im honorary grand slam also
And Wang Liqin won 3 wttc in singles but neither won World cup nor the Olympics
Since 2012 Boll had always Issues with his Back and his Neck and quit many Tournaments or dont participated. If he would have be active linke in the beginning of his career, he would have always be in the Top 5 at least.
you need to know the rank of table tennis means nothing compare to tennis or other major sport. China has huge amounts of top level players in reserve, who have very little chance to play in the big events (due to the limitation of number of player single country can send), hence they don't have high ranks.
Ma Long is not in top 10... basically this rating system is BS now.
He is out of top 10and he is the reigning world champion and Olympic gold medalist...js
DLC bullshit
Timo Boll holding it down for the rest of the world lmao
whats the yoyo guy doin here??
@@limegagliano Serously wtf
Do you really think there are only 4 Chinese players in the top 10 if every Chinese player get the same opportunity to attend international tournaments.?
The truth is, as dominant as the Chinese players look on this chart, China is even more dominant if you consider that international tournaments only have a limited number of spots per country. China only gives the opportunity to travel to their top 2-3 players (Ma Long, Zhang Jike, etc.), but there are many, many other players in China that play near that top level.
If all Chinese players are allowed to enter international tournaments, they will probably get 14 out of the top 16 spots every time. It's a known fact that the singles gold at the Chinese National Games is the most difficult title in TT. Zhang Jike, one of the most decorated players on international level, never managed to get in top 4 in men's single his four or five attempts at the Chinese National Games. There are just so many player at the similar level. That's also why Ma Long is the GOAT with his two wins in men's single in Chinese Games. Only player in the history of China to ever do so.
Ma Long came back in Tokyo 2020. Got gold. 👏👏👏
Top 1 winner is Ma Long!
BOLL Timo first in 2002 and again in 2018 😮 real goat 🥇
Hahaha never
no gold medal
No way... he's never won Olympics or World Championship...
& never will...!
Manipulation of rankings
a shame they dismissed the ELO system... world ranking is just worthless since 2018
Interesting but it ignores the fact that there are quotas. If China wanted, it could probably fill every top 20 spot as it has millions of players in reserve that it does not put forward.
There was era when big four of table tennis are all chinese. Lol
The era we Chinese called "2 Wang(Wang Liqin, Wang Hao) and 1 Ma(Ma Lin)"
There was a era where 7 out of 10 where chinese...
No one else really plays the game. Not a real surprise
@JimboParadox it's funny how they've gravitated to this game in particular. I suppose it doesn't require a lot of space for one
@@markharrison6498 Nobody else playing? Then why are you here? Lol there are other sports where china dominates too, but it doesn't matter if I mention those sports cause you're gonna say "nobody else plays the game". Excuses excuses excuses

The world ranking is not a too serious thing, some Chinese players didn’t participate some events, so they didn’t get points from those events.

Brazil is a very traditional country you just have to be within the japanese community, especially in São Paulo where most of them are.

Yes, I love this guy, watching his match always make me comfortable :)
China was not the dominant player in table tennis from the beginning; until 1960, it was a Japanese powerhouse. It wasn't until the emergence of that man - Eikoku Tuan - that China rewrote history. Since then, the success of table tennis has greatly inspired the Chinese, who lacked self-confidence at the time. In addition, table tennis was not very dependent on physical fitness and court, which really suited China at that time.
