First gay male tennis pro Joao Lucas Reis da Silva breaks silence after coming out
Briefly

"I couldn't say too much about myself to my coaches, to my friends. When I tried to love myself, that was something different. It changed my life, changed everything, the relationship with my parents, with my coaches."
"I'm really happy that people respect me, that people look at me, admire me maybe. Maybe if I had had someone playing saying: 'I'm gay, I'm here, I'm competing for the big tournaments', it would have been easier for me to accept myself and to love myself."
