Wuhan Field Reshaped by Withdrawals

Wuhan has lost Elena Rybakina, Coco Gauff and Linda Noskova, with Noskova citing a left-calf injury despite qualifying for the WTA Finals. The draw now places Sabalenka and Swiatek in the same quarter, gives Eala a qualifier and projects Andreeva into the opposite semifinal path; Rybakina is set to lose 500 ranking points.
