In women’s singles top 64, Asia has 30 players that are just from 8 countries of only two regions. So 3 other regions of Asia have no any representative among world top 64 players.

In men’s singles top 64, Asia has 30 players that are just from 7 countries of only two regions. So 3 other regions of Asia have no any representative among world top 64 players.

This statistics proves that although Asia is very strong in table tennis but it is much less developed than Europe!

In fact if we separate China and few other eastern countries from the continent, the rest has long way to go.
