Margaret Court row set to continue after she says 'tennis is full of lesbians'

One of the main show courts at the Australian Open is named after Court, who won a record 24 grand slam singles titles in the 1960s and 70s.

The row surrounding Margaret Court's views on homosexuality is set to escalate after the Australian gave another interview saying tennis is full of lesbians and that transgender people are influenced by the devil.

A number of tennis players have condemned Court's views since she announced last week she would be boycotting Australian airline Qantas because of its chief executive's support for same-sex marriage.
