UNDATED (AP) — The head of the women’s professional tennis tour says all WTA tournaments will be suspended in China because of concerns about the safety of Peng Shuai, and, that the suspension could extend beyond 2022.
The Grand Slam doubles champion has accused a former high-ranking government official in that country of sexual assault. She posted her allegations on social media last month.
WTA President and CEO Steve Simon is repeating his call for a “full and transparent investigation” into Peng’s accusations.
