"It is an important swing for us": Garcia backs WTA return to China after Peng Shuai U-turn
WTAFriday, 14 April 2023 at 19:00
Caroline Garcia has welcomed the move of the WTA to return to China calling the stretch and important one for tennis players when asked about it by BBC Sport.
Garcia is in Coventry where she's leading the French team against the British team in the Billie Jean King Cup and she was asked by local media about the WTA's move to return events to China. Garcia is in favour of that because she likes the events and has won trophies over there in the past.
She said:
“The ATP and the ITF was already going back, and women’s tennis is following. In
the past we have had some huge tournaments over there and I think it is
an important swing for us in our calendar and I’m looking forward to
it.”
She did not mention Peng Shuai.

- Must be okay to do this because WTA apparently could care less. They seem to be even more distant since the Saudi's filled their personal bank accounts. This particular smashing was extreme... and in front of so many little children who (unfortunately in some cases) look up to these players.
mandoist02-05-2024 - Unfortunately the WTA & ITF Fat-Cats are comfortable lounging in their elite surroundings and do not hear anything they do not wish to hear. Not to mention how any compassion, concerns, or sensibility toward the general overall health of players likely went away with their filthy Saudi pocket money.mandoist02-05-2024
