 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.
