First ATP player to come out

[BSR]

Many women tennis pros have come out:  from Billie Jean King and Martina Navratilova back in the '80s to Amelie Mauresmo to most recently Kasatkina, to the point that coming out is almost a non-story on the WTA side.  But no ATP player has come out, until now.

Apparently Fabien Reboul and his boyfriend Maxence Broville both posted the picture on the left on their Instagrams.  Although you can't see their faces (horny devils), Reboul is on the right.  Reboul is also the guy in the swimsuit in the other photo.  Since I can't access Instagram, hopefully someone can double-check the posts on both players' accounts.

A number of years back, Sports Illustrated & Tennis Channel commentator Jon Wertheim addressed the issue of why no ATP player has ever come out, noting that the first to do so would likely get a very positive response from his fellow players.  Brian Vahaly and Jan-Michael Gambill did come out but only post-retirement.  Reboul is the first active player to do so.  Ranked #54, Reboul still plays a number of Challengers but plays enough ATP tournaments to be called an ATP player.  Broville, ranked #872, is playing Futures (kinda like playing Single A baseball).

I doubt the #54 ranked doubles player has any endorsements.  But Fabien Reboul is a good-looking guy with a great body.  Now that he's "on the map," coming out might actually get him an endorsement or two.  In any case, I wish the guy all the best.
