"Real truth may never be known" says Muguruza about Peng Shuai

World number three Garbine Muguruza said Saturday that the "real truth" about what happened to Peng Shuai may never be known.

The story of Peng Shuai has died down a bit in recent weeks with fewer and fewer people mentioning it. It's unclear where Peng is at the moment other than she is in China and apparently safe. That is why Garbine Muguruza commented on the matter on Saturday in an interesting fashion. The Spaniard noted that the real truth may never be known and it's a fair assessment.

She said:

"Are we going to know something about this? I don't know, I think it's a complicated country to deal with. It's a little bit not moving forward, I feel. It's just there for months and months."

She further said:

"It seemed like for a moment, okay, we're going to find out what's happening. I think it's going to be very difficult to find a real truth and for her to be able to talk freely."

She finsihed off by praising the WTA for their actions and underlining her hope that she is ultimately safe:

"I feel like this is something that the WTA has done great. I think they've showed a lot of courage and character by supporting these and taking these strong decisions. We hope that she's well, we really do hope that she's well, she's okay, and hopefully we see her back out here soon."
