"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.

- 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".
