TURIN, Nov 20 ― Novak Djokovic said yesterday that he backed the WTA's threat to cut lucrative business ties with China if tennis star Peng Shuai remains unaccounted for and her sexual assault allegations against a top Communist Party official are not investigated.
“The whole tennis community needs to back her up and her family and make sure that she is safe and sound. Because if you have tournaments on Chinese soil without resolving this situation it would be a little bit strange, so I understand why the WTA has taken a stance like that.” Her disappearance has sparked a flurry of calls for China to reveal her whereabouts, including from women's tennis icons Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka.
