Ukraine tennis pro: ‘Definitely no gays’ in men’s top 100, but ‘every other’ female player is lesbian
A Ukrainian tennis player has said there are ‘definitely no gays’ in the sport – but ‘almost every other’ female tennis player is a lesbian.
Sergiy Stakhovsky, who is best known for knocking Roger Federer out of Wimbledon in 2013, said he would not let his daughter play tennis for this reason.
The world number 49 made the claim in a interview with the Ukrainian Xsport website published on Wednesday (8 July).
Asked on if there were any ‘sexual minorities’ in tennis, Stakhovsky replied: ‘I think not.’
‘You see, on the ATP we have a normal atmosphere,’ he said, according to a translation by letsecondserve.com.
‘If there was anything, we’d know about it, because it’s a very closed circle.
‘Earlier there used to be talk about Gasquet, about Nadal. Even about Federer. I won’t sacrifice my hand for the whole tour and the new guys, who are just joining, but in the backbone of the top 100 there are definitely no gays.’
Stakhovsky then took a shot at tennis legend Martina Navratilova, who earlier this year said she couldn’t believe that no male tennis players are gay,
‘She can think that in the women’s locker room,’ he said.
‘She has no clue at all what men’s tennis is. And she’s has nothing to do with it. On the WTA tour, almost every other player is a lesbian. Can you imagine – half of them!
‘So I for sure won’t send my daughter to play tennis.’
