The Women’s Tennis Association’s (WTA) stance in the case of Chinese player Peng Shuai has helped the organization secure a multi-year title sponsorship deal with American medical device maker Hologic, the governing body announced on Thursday.
Peng’s well-being became a matter of concern after she posted a message on social media in November accusing former Chinese Vice-Premier Zhang Gaoli of forcing her into sex. The post was promptly removed and she was absent from public view for nearly three weeks.
