Federer, Murray unfazed by gay players on tour
The two grand slam winners say it is not an issue if any player decides to come out
Roger Federer and Andy Murray have insisted that any player who came out as gay would not face discrimination on the ATP Tour.
US basketball star Jason Collins recently revealed he was gay, becoming the first active professional player in the US to declare his homosexuality.
We are relaxed and don't play team sport and mix a lot, not with the girls... we're very open
Federer believes any such revelation in men's tennis would not cause problems.
"I don't think it's a problem to be honest. We are relaxed and don't play team sport and mix a lot, not with the girls, but with the guys and we're very open," said the 17-time grand slam winner.
"What would happen in this event? I don't know. I don't know if there is anyone."
World number three Murray said there were probably some gay men on the professional tour. But the Scot said that if a fellow competitor decided to go public, he would find sympathy.
"I would hope there are no issues on the tour," said the United States Open and Olympic champion.
