Who said it was all believable? It was an infamous document that circulated around the Internet years back, it's just discussing that this is what was claimed within it. Whether it's true or not (there's no way of proving it), that's what we remember reading in it.

Hot daddy!

Still the best ass on tour for me. His overall body is so well proportioned.

Okay now I hope this isn’t mean but was anyone else super shocked that RBA (Bautista Agut) was str8. I would’ve loss money on that one. I just knew we were gonna have our first openly gay pro tennis player actively on tour.

Who do you think will be our first active and openly gay player?

Nothing about RBA screams “queer” to me.

There may not be a publicly “out” player for quite a few years. There are probably a handful of players in the top 200 or who doubles specialists that have queer dimensions/are somewhere in the gender, sexual, affection, romantic, emotion, commitment spectrum. But it’s been decades since there’s been an ATP player publicly “out” during their career.

I remember reading that one of his best friends is gay and he's just a very good ally as a result. Hence things like him voluntarily doing rainbow laces.

As for your other question, no idea. Can't tell from the outside, but I hope it happens relatively soon. ATP has been regressing in terms of inclusivity/ethics it feels like lately and needs a kick up the arse in some regard.

The "List" everyone is trying to remember is the first post in this thread: Pro Tennis Players - All the goss!

What do you guys think about match fixing players? Its been happening a lot and doesnt give the joy of tennis anymore.!

I am very sceptical and doubtful when home-native low-ranked player (Q or WC) runs deep to final, SF suddenly beating some top players, though before he is scratching the challengers courts here and there.
this is so weird. It looks like organizators and director help native players to rank up.

The last 2 weeks, its been all challenger players inQF SF even in the finals. Especially when its ATP250. Top players dont care much about it.

Yes I knew he was very supportive of the community. I also noticed that the WTA page had a very dedicated design for pride this month and the ATP homepage had nothing at all.
