The 33-year-old Frenchwoman announced on Instagram her intention not to participate in the China tour and to resume her season in October.
Alizé Cornet will not be on the tour in China, an important part of the WTA calendar each year. The 33-year-old Frenchwoman announced it on Instagram this Wednesday, indicating she wanted “stay faithful to [ses] beliefs and pay attention to [sa] health“. Its season will therefore resume in October.
The Nice player appeared very concerned about the situation of Peng Shuai, this Chinese player who disappeared for a while after her accusation of sexual assault against a senior Chinese leader. “I know for a fact that she is not in physical danger. I’m worried about what she’s going to become, how she’s going to evolve after this? When is she really going to be free?», declared Cornet at the Australian Open in January 2022.
“My season will resume in October. See you soon!”, declares Alizé Cornet on Instagram Instagram / alizecornet
