Does it sound surprising that someone has associated tennis with homosexuality, but in fact, there may be more to it behind the scenes.
Recently, a tennis-themed movie "Challenger" was released in North America, but it caused some controversy. Screenwriter Justin Kuritzks once said in a speech that tennis is essentially a gay sport. His belief that tennis is a sport of distance from people and is full of intimacy, but avoids actual contact, has sparked a lot of discussion and questioning.
It is worth noting that the director of "Challenger" is Luca Guadagnino, whose previous gay-themed film "Call Me by Your Name" was critically acclaimed. Does this mean that the director's personal style influenced the screenwriter's point of view, or did the screenwriter misunderstand the film's theme?
However, the film-related rhetoric was only the beginning of a broader discussion. The sport of tennis itself also provokes thought. Some people think that tennis is an elegant gentleman's sport, but at the same time, it is pointed out that gentlemen on the tennis court may be associated with homosexuality. Is this a misconception or a reality? There may be more secrets behind this question waiting to be revealed.
In addition to the writer's remarks, the topic of homosexuality inside and outside the tennis world is also in the spotlight. Some high-profile players such as Billie Jean King and Navnatinova are openly gay and gay, and their courageous actions have played an important role in promoting gay rights. But at the same time, some people are beginning to question the low percentage of male tennis players coming out, does this mean that there are some hidden phenomena in the tennis world?
To sum up, tennis is more than just a sport, it has a rich story and issues behind it. We look forward to more discussions and interpretations in order to better understand this fascinating world.
