I think it's fantastic that they are bringing that exposure to the game there. It's probably more that more attention will go to that exhibition than the main tours where there has been some incredible tennis and action this week. But that's the way it goes!

Two years ago since I interviewed Kasatkina for @qnews.com.au before she was an Aussie! She's always had a lot of support from the queer community in Australia.

Kazakhstan officially bring in the ban on so-called β€œLGBT propaganda." It's interesting how these laws from Russia in the 2010s saw huge backlash from Eurovision fans, but now many want to welcome Kazakhstan in the Contest. qnews.com.au/kazakhstans-...
