Breaking News! Timo Boll of Germany ascended to the No. 1 spot in the Table Tennis World Rankings after a gap of 8 years. Ma Long slips to the 2nd spot.

India's shining star, Sharath Kamal is on the 40th spot in the list.
However, the biggest news for India from the lists are the huge jumps by Soumyajit Ghosh, Gnanasekharan Sathiyan, and Harmeet Desai, who occupy the 29th, 40th and 44th position in the Under 18 Boy's section.
Mallika Bhandarkar and Manika Batra have also moved up impressively in the Girl's U-18 section.

Mallika in the World's Top Ten

Mallika Bhandarkar of Maharashtra rolled into the top ten of the Girls U-15 section in the ITTF World Rankings published in May.

She is probably the highest ranked player India has ever produced in any age or open category. The gutsy player has always been in contention at the World level in the Cadet Section. What is more creditable is that she is in the top 50 in the U 18 Girls section and in the top 100 of the U-21 section. Mallika is also slowly climbing the Women's rankings.
