The real Peng Shuai: The quiet Chinese hero who won't give up 'Me Too' fight

The Telegraph  

At the National Tennis Centre in Beijing fans flocked around their star player, Peng Shuai. The first Chinese tennis player, male or female, to become a world No 1, Peng had just cruised to victory 6-4, 6-4 to take the China Open title alongside doubles partner Andrea Sestini Hlavackova. “She had to create a little bubble to stay away from fans because otherwise they would eat her alive,” recalls Hlavackova, the first close colleague of the Chinese icon to agree to be interviewed since Peng’s explosive rape allegations about former vice-premier Zhang Gaoli which sparked a #MeToo story of seismic proportions. Second only to Li Na in status – the former world No 2 and China’s only tennis player to win a major singles title – Peng’s quiet character belies the strong emotional connection with her home nation. Peng’s good luck charm – a tennis bag emblazoned with an ox to represent her birth year in the Chinese zodiac – is an ominous symbol for those who follow Chinese superstitions.
