Main article: 1939 World Table Tennis Championships

The 1939 World Table Tennis Championships women's singles was the 13th edition of the women's singles championship.[1][2] Vlasta Depetrisová defeated Gertrude Pritzi in the final by three sets to two, to win the title.[3] The tournament suffered from lack of entries due to the troubles in Europe and the forthcoming World War II. Only 11 men's teams and 5 women's teams entered the Championships. Hungary, the United States and Austria were the major nations missing.[4]

After the annexation of Austria by Germany, the Austrian Pritzi had to participate under the Nazi Germany flag.
