Chinese women paddlers have booked the top four seats at the ITTF world Rankings while men's top player Wang Liqin continued his dominance at the top.

The latest list released by the International Table Tennis Federation showed that China's Zhang Yining, Guo Yan, Wang Nan and Guo Yue split the first four seats on the tally while teenager Li Xiaoxia, standing sixth, completed the Chinese roster in the top ten.

Cao Zhen is a short distance away, standing at 12th position.

In the men's group, the top-nine sequence remained unchanged with China's Wang Liqin continuing his lead over the others.

The only change in the top ten is the drop of China's Hao Shuai from tenth to 12th.

Replacing Hao in tenth place is Chuan Chih-Yuan of Chinese Taipei.
