Homosexuality has been a big topic in men's tennis, especially after Fabien Reboul and Maxence Broville posted a picture of them kissing.

The two haven't made any official announcement and many fans already pointed out that it seems that they are not kissing in reality and discussed whether their picture was an inappropriate joke or a serious coming out. Asked about homosexuality in men's tennis, Taylor Fritz said that in his opinion the player would be accepted by colleagues from the ATP Tour.

"I’m not sure if there are homosexual tennis players in the top 100," Fritz admitted in an interview with ClayTenis. "I don’t know. Maybe people think behind close doors we know or something. Statistically speaking, they should be. Statistically. But not that I know."

"I think is odd, because I feel like a player would be accepted. Myself and my friends, other players on tour wouldn’t have any issues with it, it would be totally normal and I think people would be accepting. I couldn’t tell you why (no one has came out)."

"Obviously anytime that would be a lot of big news and maybe people just don’t want to be in the spotlight, maybe they don’t want the distraction of getting all the attention and stuff like that," he concluded.
