TORONTO : Stacey Allaster, the former-CEO of the Women's Tennis Association who negotiated millions of dollars of rights deals with China, told Reuters on Monday the tennis world has put Peng Shuai's health and safety ahead of business.

"It is tough and it also is tough for this very courageous young woman that has broken her silence and come forward with these allegations." The season-ending WTA Finals had a prize purse of US$14 million in 2019 when it was played in Shenzhen for the first time.
