The women’s professional tennis tour will return to China later this year, ending a boycott instituted in late 2021 over concerns about the safety of former player Peng Shuai after she accused a high-ranking government official there of sexual assault

The tour will resume its hefty slate of Chinese tournaments in September after suspending relations with the country following Peng’s 2021 accusations of sexual coercion from a member of its government.

Tom Brady saluted the 21-time major champion while activist Lu Pin wrote a stirring profile of Peng.
