BEIJING – “We don’t want to punish a billion people”. The International Tennis Federation will not follow the line chosen by the WTA, namely that of suspending all tournaments in China and Hong Kong after the case of the alleged sexual violence suffered by the former world number one in doubles Peng Shuai. “The Itf is the body that governs tennis all over the world – he said in an interview with Bbc President David Haggerty – We don’t want to punish a billion people, so for the moment we will continue to run our junior and senior events in the country ”.
