The whereabouts of Chinese women's doubles champion Feng Xiaoyi, who won the women's doubles at Wimbledon in 2013 and the French Open in 2014, have been unknown after revealing through social media last month that she had been sexually assaulted by former Deputy Prime Minister Zhang Gaori of the State Council.



As the scandal grew and the boycott of the Beijing Olympics began, the Chinese state-run media reported on Feng's current situation 19 days after his disappearance, and also released a video call with IOC Chairman Thomas Bach, but he has not yet appeared in public.



In the end, the World Women's Professional Tennis Tour, WTA, took action.



The WTA has announced that 10 events will be put on hold until next year, including the WTA Finals scheduled to be held in China.



The decision to sever ties with China, the world's 'biggest' in tennis, will result in a loss of more than 1 trillion won, but he nailed it as not being able to play in a place where the sexual assault allegations cannot be revealed.



While representatives of the world's tennis world, such as Djokovic and Navratilova, all supported the WTA's decision, the editor-in-chief of China's state-run Global Times slammed it as a threat to WTA to join Peng's attack on China.



As the scandal spread, the IOC suddenly announced through its website that they had a second phone call with Peng and agreed to meet next month without any photos or video.
