There was a lot of debate about Tennis Australia trying to straddle the fence in “recognizing” noted anti-LGTBQ screeder Margaret Court on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of her calendar Grand Slam.
It’s not really a fence you can straddle, although they were in a tough situation.
In the end, a ceremony on Rod Laver Arena just prior to the Nick Kyrgios – Rafael Nadal match included a video of her accomplishments on the big screen.
Rod Laver himself came out to hand her a big replica of the women’s singles trophy.
She smiled, posed for photos, said nothing.
