Explained: Why is women’s tennis China boycott over Peng Shuai ending

The Hindu  

The women’s professional tennis tour is ending its suspension of tournaments in China that was initiated in late 2021 over concerns about Grand Slam doubles champion Peng Shuai’s well-being. FILE PHOTO: Supporters of Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai hold up T-shirts ahead of the women’s final at the Australian Open in Melbourne on Jan. 29, 2022. | Photo Credit: AP WTA Chairman and CEO Steve Simon said in an interview with The Associated Press that “what has changed with it is that we have received assurances from people who are close to her, that we’ve been in contact with, that she is safe and living with her family in Beijing.. First and foremost, her safety is the first priority, and we do have assurances that is the case.” Simon also said he hopes “more progress can be made” by returning to China, because the current strategy of staying away “doesn’t make sense.” Are female tennis players ok with the return to China? “Through reach-out to us, as well as our reaching out to athletes to find out their positions, the great majority of the athletes were supportive and wanted to see a return back to the region and felt it was time to go back.. There’s certainly some that didn’t agree but the great majority did.” When will the next women’s tennis tournament be player in China?
