Another strong table tennis player : Fan Zhendong.

This season’s Chinese Super League ended its preliminary stage and the top players who played well individually are Fan Zhendong, Ma Long and Xu Xin. With his impressive winning streak this season, Fan Zhendong gets to be the strongest contender for this season. Meanwhile, the Grand Slam champion Zhang Jike is in his lowest rank. 

The Chinese Super League is about to enter the second stage of the competition and the individual rankings are already finalised. Who can be this year’s MVP? 

With an undefeated record for the first 15 rounds in the preliminary stage of the league, Fan Zhendong gets the top spot in the individual rankings. As soon as the stage was over, he recorded an impressive 31-win-1-loss record. 

With this, he gets to be a strong contender for this season’s Most Valuable Player. Fan Zhendong’s team, Bayi is also in the playoffs. So if they get to win the title, his chances will definitely increase as well. Prior awardees were Zhang Jike and Ma Long. 

Second on the rankings is Ma Long of the Ningbo Haitian Team. He completed the preliminary stage with 29 wins and 2 losses. Those two losses were from Fan Zhendong. The third player in the list is Xu Xin with 27 wins and 5 losses. Unfortunately for him, such result didn’t lead the Shanghai Team into the playoffs. 

The fourth player is Liang Jingkun of the Shandong Weiqiao Team. He was able to post 23 wins and 9 losses. Weiqiao also sealed a spot in the playoffs. Fifth player is Hao Shuai of the Shandong Team. 

As for the Grand Slam champion, Zhang Jike, he sits in the 17th place with 7 wins and 3 losses. This is probably the lowest he has been in the rankings. The reason behind this is his long absence due to injury and his dispute with his team. Fortunately, things got much better recently and he is expected to contribute well in the playoffs for the Shandong Luneng Team.
