CANCÚN, México — French Open runner-up Karolina Muchova has pulled out of the WTA Finals because of an injured right wrist. She will be replaced in the field for the season-ending tournament in Cancún, México, by Maria Sakkari. The eighth-ranked Muchova would have been making her debut at the WTA Finals. She lost to Iga Swiatek in the final at Roland Garros in June. Sakkari is ranked ninth and missed out on making the cut for the WTA Finals by one spot. She moved in because of Muchova's withdrawal as the first alternate. This will be Sakkari's third consecutive appearance at the WTA Finals.
