The WTA has released an updated tournament calendar for the 2022 season, with no events taking place in China and the venue for the season-ending WTA Finals yet to be disclosed.
The Tour said last month it was still working to find a resolution to the stand-off with China over the Peng Shuai issue and would not return to the country this year.
The former doubles world No 1’s wellbeing became a concern for the WTA after she posted a message on social media last November apparently accusing China’s former vice-premier Zhang Gaoli of of coercing her into sex in the past. Peng later said her post had been misunderstood.
