Two days after fans at the Australian Open were prohibited from wearing T-shirts that read 'Where is Peng Shuai?', Tennis Australia has reversed its decision to ban spectators from protesting
A GoFundMe page titled "Hand Out Peng Shuai Shirts" has been created, with a goal of raising AU$15,000. The goal of the fundraiser is to "present major difficulties for Tennis Australia by printing off one thousand of these shirts and giving them out for free to spectators entering the women’s grand final."
Players competing in the tournament have been asked about the ongoing situation during its early stages. Four-time major winner Naomi Osaka said it was important to maintain attention on the topic and keep Peng's safety and whereabouts front of mind.“I imagine myself in her shoes and, in that way, it’s a little bit scary. But you want to lend your voice and you want people to ask the questions.
