About this listen
When Alison Van Uytvanck and Greet Minnen teamed up in the women’s doubles at Wimbledon in 2019, they did something that nobody had ever done before.
An openly gay couple had never played on court together at a Grand Slam, and with Billie Jean King at Wimbledon and 30,000 people at London’s Pride celebration down the road, this combined for a hyper visible showing of an LGBTQ+ relationship in elite sport.
In this conversation, Alison and Greet share their thoughts on overcoming the fears of what other people think, embracing differences, and the journey of acceptance for the LGBQT+ community in the sporting world.
