Looks like we (finally) have LGBTQ+ representation from an active ATP player 🏳️🌈
Fabien Reboul, the doubles World No. 54, posts this IG story with fellow French player, Max Broville.
Note: nothing’s been confirmed from either, but this could be a big step for men’s tennis.

My luck that my first time leaving the Austin airport was an apocalypse between Monday morning and both a NASCAR race and a PGA event this weekend.
We had to leave our rentals on the side of the road and security was easily at LEAST 2 hours hours deep. Thank you, pre-check 🙏🏼

45 minutes on the dot but I played my best in all my ITFs! No games but won 15 points including a winner to open the match.
These are always nerve wracking because of my insecurity, but super proud at how I competed.
Back on the ITF grind tomorrow 👀
While I would love to finally win a game, I just want to make it to 45 minutes and not receive a golden set 💀😂🙏🏼

The video is starting to gain some traction so let me make a couple things clear:
- it was always my dream to play ITFs. After I lost 200 pounds, I've been wanting to see how much I can improve on-court.
- anyone can sign up and enter. I'm not delusional and I know my level

A month ago, I was in my hospital bed and signed up to enter the ITF here in Columbus.
The entry list came out and I was the complete last alternate - No. 308. By the time the freeze deadline came, I was No. 38.
However, look what we have here! Am I a pro?!

Agreed. However, was Jackie fully "demoted" by executives or did she make the choice to step back (but still continue to be part of the show) as she continues her recovery? I haven't really seen an answer leaning one way or another.
