When asked whether something “sinister” had happened to Peng, the World No. 1 responded by saying she did not have enough information to answer the question.
Peng Shuai was reported missing for 12 days after she made sexual assault allegations against Zhang Gaoli, China’s former Vice Premier, on social media site Weibo. After a series of attempts were made to prove Shuai’s safety, the WTA decided to pull all its events out of China indefinitely.
Following the saga, Peng herself spoke out to clarify her initial post on Weibo and confirm her whereabouts. The tennis community, however, are still concerned about her wellbeing and are unsure when she will return to the tour.
