Rankings can lie. Win rates over a long career are harder to fake. Wang Chuqin passes both tests.

Wang Chuqin's Win Rate Is Almost As Absurd As His Ranking

Breakdown
WANG Chuqin leads men at 85.8% over 522 matches.

Wang Chuqin's career mark is 85.8% over 522 matches in the local match table, the best in the men's field among players with enough matches to qualify. He is also the men's number one in the ranking snapshot this dataset holds.
The men's top of the table is China-heavy, which is expected. The non-Chinese names that survive the 200-match cutoff are the ones worth watching — they are the players whose rates did not collapse under volume.
The men's win-rate table: WANG Chuqin 85.8%; WEN Ruibo 83.6%; XIANG Peng 82.3%; LIN Shidong 81.3%; KAWAKAMI Ryuusei 79.2%; HUANG Youzheng 79.2%; KUO Guan-Hong 78.8%; ZHOU Qihao 77.9%.
Note on the snapshot: the men's ranking in this dataset is older than the women's (week 9 vs week 26 of 2026). The career win-rate figure is not affected — it draws on the full match history — but the current-rank claim should be read against that snapshot.
Like the women's version, this is an unadjusted rate. It does not weight opponents. The point is the blunt separation at the top, and the top is clear.
