ATP to hold four events in China in 2022 to the dismay of many tennis fans
ATPFriday, 25 February 2022 at 22:00
The ATP has not followed the lead of the WTA in cancelling all events in China due to the handling of the Peng Shuai situation with the organization announcing four events in 2022.
China is scheduled to stage four Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Tour events this year despite its counterpart, the Women's Tennis Association (WTA), suspending all tournaments in the country in response to concerns over the welfare of Peng Shuai. The Chengdu Open and Zhuhai Championships are scheduled for September this year while the China Open in Beijing and Shanghai Masters are set to take place in October.
The ATP released a statement saying:
"The ATP continues to take a fluid approach to the calendar and the
schedule remains subject to change," read an ATP statement accompanying
the release of its calendar for the rest of 2022. Any further updates will be communicated in due course."
Obviously, there was no mention of Peng Shuai and the decision was heavily criticized by many in the tennis community.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
