The women’s tennis association WTA played in China for the first time since the disappearance of the Chinese Peng Shuai in December 2021. Meanwhile, the fate of the former doubles No. 1 and 2014 US Open singles semi-finalist remains unclear after she accused a senior Chinese politician of sexual abuse.

Race for the WTA final

Six more WTA tournaments will follow in China in the coming weeks, including Beijing, one of the WTA’s five largest and mandatory events. Points can also be collected there for a ticket for the WTA Finals for the best eight players of the season.

With world number one Aryna Sabalenka (25), four-time major winner Iga Swiatek (22), US Open champion Coco Gauff (19) and Jelena Rybakina (24), half of the field has been determined. Belinda Bencic (26) can also still hope for the Masters, which will take place from October 29 to November 5 in the Mexican seaside resort of Cancun. The Olympic champion is currently in 11th place in the annual rankings. (SDA)
