Since Möregårdh woke up this morning and the news began to spread, he has tried to capture the feeling between friends' congratulations.

This is great news in the ping pong world. 

What does it mean to you that you are fifth in the world?

- It really means a lot.

I get a lot of goosebumps when I think about it.

Becoming in the top 10 in the world is very difficult to become and the top five is much, much more difficult.

It is absolutely incredible and I am proud of myself, says Möregårdh to SVT Sport.

Möregårdh describes the world top in the following way.

He may thus also review himself:

1) Fan Zhendong, China


- There he should be and win competitions, especially the biggest competitions where you get the most robbery points.

He deserves to be there.

2) Ma Long, China


- A ping pong legend, the best ever if you ask many.

He and Fan Zhendong commute between being first and second.

3) Liang Jingkun, China


- He's a great player.

He has won three tournaments in a row, which is very difficult and has a high minimum level and can beat all the good Chinese.

4) Hugo Calderano, Brazil


- A fantastic player who has been third, fourth for a while.

He has a very high high level that allows him to beat Fan Zhendong.

His minimum level is a little lower which means he can lose against a little worse players

5) Truls Möregårdh, Sweden


- It is a player who also deserves to be there.

I have shown in big tournaments that I have a fantastic top level that allows me to beat very good players.

Then you should not be satisfied but I want to try to stay in the top 10 as long as possible.

That is what I will strive for and it will be a completely different step that I will have to take now, to raise my minimum level.

It will be a difficult and interesting step to take, says Truls about his own standard.

What analysis do you have after the World Cup final in November where you lost to Fan Zhendong?


- I have checked it a couple of times, think I make a good match.

No wonder he was the better player.

Does it feel like you can beat him or is he too good?


- In ping-pong a lot can happen, if you get a good start, players can get nervous and then a lot can happen, but it is clear that he is a few steps away from but it is not impossible.

Möregårdh went straight into the singles game in the Pingisligan and the SM finals, but the team Eslöv was not enough in the decisive final against Halmstad.

It is unclear what the next season will look like. 

- It is very unclear with Eslöv even though I like to play in Sweden but there are other challenges as well.

I will play with the German club Ulm in the Champions League.

It is the only thing that has been nailed down this autumn, says Möregårdh.

Sweden has a new era of greatness with three players top 16 in the world.

Kristan Karlsson and Anton Källberg have also made great strides in the ranking.
