WTT announced on November 2 that Sun Yingsha had withdrawn from WTT Champions Frankfurt because of injury, a day after her women’s singles title win in Montpellier. Poland’s Bajor replaces her in the field.[1]

Sun beat Kuai Man 4–1 in the WTT Champions Montpellier final on November 1 to claim her 20th WTT series title. Earlier reporting had linked her recent dip in form partly to injury and ill health.[1][2]

Felix Lebrun has also withdrawn through injury, with South Korea’s Lim Jonghoon taking his place. Wang Manyu and Lin Shidong had already withdrawn because of injury on November 1. The tournament runs from November 3 to 8 and is the season’s final WTT Champions event.[1]
