World number one Novak Djokovic said tennis must stand together over the apparent disappearance of Chinese player Peng Shuai and described the ongoing situation as horrific.
“I support the statement of WTA as an organisation and also their president absolutely,” he said.
“The whole community, tennis community, needs to back her up and her family, make sure that she’s safe and sound because if you would have tournaments on the Chinese soil without resolving this situation, it would be a little bit strange.WTA chief Steve Simon said on Friday his organisation was at a “crossroads” with China and said they were continuing all efforts to reach out and hopefully speak to Peng directly.“It’s important because this is horrifying.
“I hope that for the sake of tennis, Chinese tennis, Peng Shuai, to find her very soon. It’s terrible. I mean, this could happen to anybody in any part of the world. “We just have to unite and stand together and show that there is no ignorance to this, that it’s not like it’s just I guess something that concerns China.
“It concerns the tennis world because she has been an international tennis athlete for many years. She deserves at least our support in this whole case.”
