Calderano is the highest-ranked foreign player in the men's singles world, with Lin slipping to No. 17

The International Table Tennis Federation announced the world rankings for the 17th week of 2025 on the 22nd, and Calderano, the Brazilian brother who won the Macau World Cup upset, rose to the best third place of his career. Calderano defeated the world's top 3 players in the 2025 World Cup last week, becoming the first American player to win the tournament, scoring 1,500 points, and a total score of 4,575, which also surpassed Tomokazu Zhangmoto, jumping from 5th to 3rd, tying the best of his career, second only to Lin Shidong and Wang Chuqin. Tomokazu Zhang and Liang Jingkun were also squeezed to the 4th and 5th.

China's Lin Gaoyuan slipped from 9th to 17th in the world rankings after missing last year's World Cup runner-up by 1,050 points, his worst since July 2022.

Chinese Taipei's first brother Lin Yunru also rose 1 place to 14th. Lin Yunru lost to Germany's Ocharov in the final game of the World Cup group stage due to a lighting controversy, and missed out on advancing to the round of 16 with no points in his account, but Bailin Gaoyuan fell down the rankings and still returned from 15th to 14th.

In the women's group rankings, Chinese women's player Chen Xingtong broke into the top 4 in the World Cup, and the ranking was swapped with Wang Yidi, from 4th to 3rd, tying the best of his career. Although the 21-year-old Chinese rising star Kuo Man lost 0:4 to world queen Sun Yingsha in the World Cup women's singles final, she still received 1,050 runner-up points, ranking from 7th to 5th in her career, and squeezed Japan's Miwa Zhang and Hina Hayada to 6th and 7th.

Zheng Yijing, the first sister of Chinese Taipei who broke into the top 8 in the World Cup, remained in 11th place. Brazil's Bruna Takahashi, who also reached the quarterfinals in the World Cup, rose from 24th to 16th, writing the best of her career.
