He had previously won the title with the team and won all of his games here as well. Three weeks later he reached third place in the World Cup by beating Timo Boll .

At the World Cup he reached third place after losing 4-0 to the Chinese world champion Ma Long and defeating the Japanese top player Jun Mizutani in six sets in the game for third place. At the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro , he was eliminated in third place in the quarter-finals against Vladimir Samsonov with 2: 4.

He showed stronger performances again at the end of the year at the Grand Finals , in which he took a 2-0 lead in the quarter-finals against world number two Fan Zhendong. In the third set, however, he could not use the lead of 8: 3, 9: 5 and 10: 9, and when he won the point at 11:10, the ball broke on the edge of the fan, so that the point was not counted. After that Ovtcharov didn't get a set point and lost 2: 4.

With the introduction of the new world ranking calculation at the turn of the year, the quarter-finals at the Grand Finals were enough for him to be number 1 in the world rankings from 2018. He achieved this by a 4: 3 round of 16 victory over Kōki Niwa, to whom he had just lost at the World Cup, followed by 4: 3 successes over Tomokazu Harimoto and Lin Gaoyuan and a final defeat against Fan Zhendong.

After returning from the injury break, he was unable to build on his previous performance for the time being and thus also not qualify for the Grand Finals 2018, so that in January 2019 he finally dropped out of the top 10 of the world rankings for the first time since the end of 2012. In February he won another major tournament with the Europe Top 16 Cup , but at the World Cup in April he failed in the third round at world rankings 58. Tomislav Pucar . With the team he won gold at the European Games and the European Team . In the Grand Finals , for which he qualified this year in singles, he retired in the first round against Lin Gaoyuan out in February 2020, it then reached again a top 10 ranking after being at the German Open under among other things the world number one Fan Zhendong had defeated.
Suspected doping and waiver of disciplinary proceedings
On September 22nd, 2010 the German Table Tennis Association (DTTB) suspended Ovtcharov with immediate effect after a positive doping test . In the A-sample, he tested positive for the prohibited performance-enhancing agent Clenbuterol . Ovtcharov denied the use of doping substances and requested the opening of the B sample. On September 30, 2010, the German Table Tennis Association reported that the B sample was also positive. Ovtcharov suspected that he had unwittingly ingested the clenbuterol through contaminated food during the China Open in mid-August. In a hearing at the DTTB, circumstantial evidence was given and experts were heard. Among other things, Ovtcharov had a hair sample analyzed. The DTTB decided not to open disciplinary proceedings against Ovtcharov on October 15, 2010 because of the evidence presented. The suspension was lifted with immediate effect. As a precautionary measure, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) applied for an appeal to the International Court of Sport (CAS) against the waiver of the proceedings at the end of November 2010 in order to meet the deadline and instructed the DTTB to re-examine the matter. In January 2011 the waiver of the disciplinary procedure was confirmed by an internal committee of the DTTB. NADA and WADA waived a renewed objection, thereby the waiver of the disciplinary procedure was confirmed by the DTTB.
