Struff to the case Peng Shuai: No problem, no longer play in China

WTA boss Steve Simon had threatened a week ago with the complete retreat of the women's tour, if the lead in Beijing in the case of the disappeared player does not bring light into the darkness. As a gentleman on the ATP tour, I have no problem if we no longer fly to China and play there, Stuff said to the online portal Spot (Friday). But the whole topic is highly crisp and difficult to grab for us, said the 31-year-old.

Peng Squad had alleged allegations at the beginning of November in the social network Weibo because of a sexual assault by a Chinese top politician. Immediately the censorship reached, deleted their post and since then prevents any discussion in China's Internet. Also, the player was initially no longer seen in public, which worried the international tennis world. A video phone call with IOC President Thomas Bach triggered further discussions and criticism.

The case is also the topic in the Davis Cup team, which contains the group matches of the final round at the weekend against Serbia and Austria in Innsbruck. That's all madness, crass and violent, said the Saarland Stuff. As a tennis professional, that had not been possible for possible, but it happened. We hope as a German team of course that she is fine, and she is safe.
