Women's singles world No. 1 Sun Yingsha has withdrawn from the World Table Tennis (WTT) Champions event in Doha, set for January 7–11, 2026, due to ongoing physical discomfort. Hong Kong Special Administrative Region’s rising star Doo Hoi Kem will replace her in the high-stakes tournament.
Sun, a four-time year-end world No. 1, was sidelined earlier this month during the WTT Finals semifinals and missed China’s Table Tennis Super League Finals. Despite the setbacks, she retained her top ranking this year—a testament to her dominance 🏆.
China’s updated roster for Doha includes powerhouses Wang Manyu, Chen Xingtong, and Wang Yidi, alongside younger talents Chen Yi and Kuai Man. Fans are buzzing about whether the reshuffled squad can maintain its global edge 🚀.
Doo Hoi Kem, known for her aggressive playstyle, brings fresh energy to the competition. Will this shake-up redefine Asia’s table tennis landscape? Stay tuned! 💥
