China's Wang Chuqin moved up to a career-best third as the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) released its latest world rankings on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Chinese duo Fan Zhendong and Ma Long maintain their top two positions in the men's table tennis world rankings.

In October, Wang claimed the men's singles title at the World Table Tennis (WTT) Champions Macao before continuing his title-winning run at the WTT Cup Finals Xinxiang, which resulted in his four-place jump up the rankings to a new career-high world No. 3.

On the women's side, Sun Yingsha, who was also crowned champion back to back in Macao and Xinxiang, remains the women's world No. 1 with 8,270 points, celebrating 200 career weeks among the top 20 players in the world. With her lead extended at the top of the ladder, Sun is also on track to be the year-end world No. 1 for the first time in her career.
