Are there any out gay male tennis players?

There are a few out lesbian players, but I never hear of out gay male players. And there has also been some talk in the media recently about gay men in team sports. It seems like tennis would be somewhat easier for gay men because there would be less team pressure to deal with, and players are pretty much on their own once in the court. But where are all the gay male tennis players?

    quite an interesting question.even i know about lesbian players like mauresmo,navratilova,billie jean king but i have never heard of any gay male player.its true that its safer for tennis players to come out since it is an individual sport as compared to team ones but from what i have seen all the male tennis players have really pretty and gorgeous girlfriends/wives.

    Even though Tennis is an individual sport, they are still going to have to deal male tennis players who aren't comfortable with their sexuality. Women are more acceptable then men are. That's why women who are gay come out while they are still playing a professional sport rather then a man who is gay.
