The 25-year-old has two career WTA finals to her credit; Monterrey two years ago and Guangzhou last year, but has struggled in 2026 to secure wins and break back into the top 100 rankings.
Sun, who reached a career-high ranking of 39 in September 2024 wrote on her social media that she needed a break
"The physical and mental demands of a competition schedule are relentless and can impact your life in more ways than one. With that in mind, I have decided to take some time away from competition to give myself a little space for my wellbeing and to enjoy life beyond the tennis court.
It will give me the opportunity to step away from the demands of competition, reset, and prepare for what's ahead."
I find it hard to express how deeply appreciative I am to all my team members, friends and family and fans for their continuous belief in me," said the Te Anau born Sun
"Your support and kindness means everything."
I am also truly grateful for my sponsors and patronage and for being an important part of my journey," she said.
