I give Simon a lot of credit for his strong stance thus far. Hopefully, Peng Shuai is okay and we can hear directly from her in short order.
I'm sorry but they've had plenty of time. This whole situation smells bad and I'm hoping we see some good come out of it -- especially with the Olympics just around the corner.
I just keep getting more and more pissed with each staged/outdated Peng Shuai photo or video they post, I can’t even with actual tennis right now. Supposedly they’re going to trot her out for a totally not under duress public appearance and statement in the next couple days.
All the dummies in western democratic countries that whine about getting cancelled, try getting scrubbed from existence within your entirely state controlled internet. This type of thing absolutely cannot stand.

We whine about getting cancelled but this is the extreme of it. This is news to the Western world but those who follow Chinese entertainment know about celebs getting wiped off the map.

Well, that was a pretty disappointing ATP finals match as far as quality is concerned. Zverev takes it 6-4 6-4 over Medvedev, but the score flattered the Russian who looked pretty disinterested throughout the match.

That was quite the IOC - China collaboration on that Peng Shuai video I saw yesterday. My goodness, I need a new propaganda meter after watching that production.

yeah it's bad. assuming they're not deepfaking all these videos, the only thing it proves is that she (probably) hasn't been physically harmed. we will probably never have proof that she is free of coercion unless she leaves China and has an interview in which she discusses the sexual assault allegations again. I would put the chances of that happening at approximately negative 1000%.
PM me your address and it'll be in your mailbox in time for Christmas!
j/k I wouldn't go there, online I've seen shirts and tattoos (yes tattoos) of the 2019 Wimbledon final score. Djoker fans can get really hardcore.
Hahaha to be honest I would probably wear one if they made it with the Wimbledon 08 score.
I think if you were to rank all 20 of Federer's Grand Slam wins that tournament was his best and most impressive title. He won what 3/4 5 setters in a row.

well...I guess when you can't or won't push back against an authoritarian superpower that is hosting a bunch of your lucrative events, seek out small victories?
