Sun Yingsha Wins While Resting! China’s Team Claims 6 World Titles, Yingsha Secures 4 Crowns, Doha Withdrawal Likely Due to Asian Cup

Despite suffering a left ankle injury, Sun Yingsha did not join Shenzhen University in Nanjing for the 2025 Chinese Super League finals. Led by Kuai Man, Hirano Miu, and Qin Yuxuan, Shenzhen University clinched the women’s team title. Although Sun didn’t compete, she still “won while resting,” marking a perfect end to her season.

In a congratulatory video, Sun expressed her gratitude: “Thanks to my team for their support and dedication, and to my teammates for their flawless performance at critical moments. This trophy embodies everyone’s hard work. After nine years of working side by side, we are reaping the sweetest reward today.”

According to WTT, Sun will withdraw from the Doha Championship on January 11, 2026, with Du Kaiqin stepping in. Levi explained that Sun holds an Asian Cup wildcard, and her withdrawal is a precaution for her injury, preparing for upcoming women’s and mixed doubles events in the new cycle.

CCTV reported that the Chinese table tennis team won six world titles in 2025:

• World Cup Women’s Singles: Sun Yingsha

• World Championship Women’s Singles: Sun Yingsha
• World Championship Women’s Doubles: Wang Manyu/Kuai Man
• World Championship Mixed Doubles: Sun Yingsha/Wang Chuqin
