“We’ve also reached out to all our WTA athletes from the region that we feel would have relationships with her. And we’ve heard the same from everybody: that they haven’t been able to reach her directly.
“All the sources are that she’s fine and doing okay, and isn’t under any threat, but we have not been able to speak with her directly to this date. And I’m not aware of anybody that has at this point and time.”
Now, ATP Chairman Andrea Gaudenzi has issued a statement regarding Peng Shuai, saying: “There is nothing more important to us than the safety of our tennis community. We have been deeply concerned by the uncertainty surrounding the immediate safety and whereabouts of WTA player Peng Shuai.
“We are encouraged by the recent assurances received by WTA that she is safe and accounted for and will continue to monitor the situation closely. Separately, we stand in full support of WTA’s call for a full, fair and transparent investigation into allegations of sexual assault against Peng Shuai.”
